Kindergarten Rug
Funded Jul 24, 2017I can not thank you enough for contributing to the purchase of my kindergarten classroom rug! We use the rug during calendar first thing every morning. We also use the squares on the rug for math competitions every afternoon! I can not even imagine our classroom without it! The students love having their personal space in the squares on the rug and it has improved classroom management tremendously! We love using the colors for grouping and sorting as well... "If you have on a blue shirt, sit on a blue square" and there is no questions as to where to go!
My students were extremely excited to see the rug when it came in. We were using "sit spots" and I had to redo them each day after we got done with calendar. The colors and the size make such a great addition to our room! They enjoy playing blocks and games on the rug and using the lines and squares for this during centers!
We will continue to use the rug daily and I am thinking of more ways everyday to use this space! Our new favorite is to use the squares during our Math Exit Tickets. Students line up in squares after I have accepted their papers as complete. They love to see who gets to the "first" square. Using Donors Choose has opened my eyes to the love the world has for learning and has made me eager to develop more projects to be funded!”
With gratitude,
