In our art classroom, students are letting their imaginations soar with their creativity and finding their own style and spark. We are in need of an area rug to give students a place to gather and collaborate as a learning community, and to provide a calming place to be inspired. This designated area will provide the opportunity to have a flexible seating area to be innovative while enriching learning and visual art exploration. My students come to class with diverse backgrounds and needs. Needs often look different for each child. Some of my friends learn better when they can stand, others learn better on a comfy spot on the floor, and some learn best from moving while they learn. Having the option to sit on a Modern Contemporary Waves Non-Slip (Non-Skid) area rug can meet these needs. The area rug perfectly pairs with our learning environment to help inspire our creativity. I want every student that walks through my door to feel welcomed and appreciated for who they are. I want every student in my class to reach their full potential, and flexible seating is one way to help them reach their goals.
