"Your touching me"! "I am not touching you"! These are the constant words I hear from my students as we come to the carpet for reading, lessons and recess. We desperately need a comfortable spot to grow and and learn. Spreading out to read a great book, working hands-on with a friend, sitting attentively for a story, listening to a lesson, these are all activities that are done on a classroom rug where so much knowledge is acquired and shared. My students are a group of kids that attend a Title I school in a Colorado urban school district. They are made up from a diverse set of backgrounds and include English language learners, special education students, and more then 90% of those receiving free or reduced-price lunches. Most importantly my students love coming to school, learning, and being in first grade.
