A Comfortable Carpet to Create a Community for Little Ones!

Funded Aug 8, 2017

My students were so excited to see the new carpet, especially when I assigned them each their own color square. Having their personal space has eliminated any confusion about who sits where. With the sense of ownership, they are taking great care of the carpet. They love when it is their turn to make sure all debris is picked -up, and it is left tidy for the next day.

Our new carpet has created a welcoming learning environment in the classroom. My students spend a large part of the day on the carpet involved in whole-group teaching, partner work, and center learning. One memorable project was when the students were learning to measure using cubes. They decided to measure each other, and laid down on the carpet as their friends line-up cubes beside them. One of them asked if they could measure me, so of course I laid down too. The class thought it was so fun having me join in. It was a great time!”
