This gives our students a sense of pride in their work. It is so helpful to have the colorful paper, fresh glue-sticks, new scissors, and many other materials that make their work easy to complete. \r\n\r\n We are also a classroom that encourages independence. The students have many task folders, adapted books, and materials they can repeatedly practice their skills with. Getting lamenting paper and Velcro makes doing these activates possible.
