In the kindergarten classroom many lessons are taught from the comfort of the classroom carpet. However, funds are not available through the school to purchase items like this. My current carpet is very old and torn, which is not good conditions for my students to be using it in. The use of a classroom carpet for seating allows me to speak to the children in a more personal way without the distractions of desks and chairs. All students deserve a clean environment to learn. During the day many literacy, math, and music lessons are taught from this area. I am able to connect with my students as we sit together in a clean, comfortable setting.
