We currently have a large classroom rug that we use to be together for whole group instruction, circle/morning meeting time, resting, and relaxing, and reading (among other activities). This is really the center/heart of our room, and we wouldn't be able to teach and learn in an age appropriate manner if we didn't have it. You see, in our kindergarten classrooms, students don't use traditional desks. We have group tables for center work and some independent tasks, but mainly we use our carpet for all other activities and lessons. The rug we have now is at least eight years old, and has seen better days (think "I waited too long to use the bathroom", and "My tummy doesn't feel so good" from the last eight years of being in a kindergarten classroom). It was generously given to us by one of our loyal community partnerships, and we have made every effort to preserve the cleanliness and quality of it. However, you can only shampoo a rug like that so many times before it starts to (literally) fall apart. I could never afford to replace this rug with my annual classroom allowance/budget, nor could I purchase something this big and expensive on my own salary. Please help me provide a comfortable and clean area for learning in my room!
