Each day in my classroom begins with a morning meeting. Our morning meeting is a special time for us to come together to set goals for our day together and to become a class family. In today's classroom, we have a variety of lessons we present to our students. Sometimes we do things individually, sometimes it's in small groups and sometimes it's as one big group with the whole class. As class sizes continue to rise, the struggle to maintain focus throughout a lesson also increases. My students need the opportunity to spread out during a lesson to be successful in their learning. I need a large gathering area rug that will give each of my students the opportunity to make the most out of our day together! The rug will give each student their own space so the learning can happen, but it also provides us a space to come together and bond as a class! This one from School Specialty is perfect! It has colored squares for each child to sit on. The squares will give them the space that we all need to be able to think clearly. School Specialty delivers quality items and this rug has a limited lifetime wear warranty!
