I have 25 second graders in my homeroom class and 28 second graders in my class during reading block. The carpet I currently have in my classroom only has enough space for 20 students, which leaves 5-8 students without a designated space to sit. We begin and end each day together as a classroom family on the carpet. It is where the majority of our learning takes place. Students can sit in rows, facing the interactive whiteboard when I need to teach a lesson or model how to do something. We can also sit around the perimeter of the carpet, forming a rectangle, so that everyone can be seen and heard. We use this structure during classroom meetings, morning news, author's chair, class discussions and choral reads. Many students also choose to sit at the carpet during independent work time, because it is more comfortable for them then sitting at their desk. A good classroom carpet is both organized and visually appealing. The carpet that I have chosen for my classroom is divided into 30 squares, so that each child has his or her own personal space. Each row is color coded, which makes creating cooperative groups and transitioning to and from the carpet a simple and time effective task. The rows also provide an easy way to pair up students for Think-Pair-Share activities and partner discussions.
