Having this wonderful classroom carpet will make it easier for my students to find their spots when I call them over to join me for whole-group learning; each one of the colorful circles on the carpet will assigned to one student and that will be their carpet spot. It will also be easier for them to be able to stay on one spot while we learn. This will keep boys and girls from moving as much and being a distraction to others. It will also be more comfortable for students to sit on the carpet rather than on the floor.
