Funded Aug 12, 2021All of the students were stoked when they first saw our new classroom rug. They clapped and cheered we now have a rug to sit on. Before the rug, they had the choice of sitting either on the floor or on little pillows. So, they were very excited to sit on their own square on the rug. They even had their names tapped on their spots, which they really appreciated.
Not only do we appreciate the rug to do morning meeting at; but also for morning bin time where the students get to play and during center time. It helps facilitate a sense of community during our meetings, our socio-emotional discussions, and our playtime. I even have the opportunity to do small group lessons on the rug, where they are able to spread out and be comfortable while learning. On top of all of that, we also meditate on the rug, both sitting and lying down mediation - which is one of their favorite things.
They love going to that space in the room and even call it our "alfombra de meditación" (Meditation rug). Muchas gracias from Room 113.”
With gratitude,
