A Classroom Rug Is a Kindergarten Must Have!

Help me give my students a comfortable classroom rug for read-a-louds, partner games, independent reading and centers.

My Project

My Kindergarten class is full of energetic boys and girls who need a lot of movement. They learn best in center/ rotations that get them out of their seat. They love hands on centers / games and partner work. There is a large section in the front of our classroom that is hard tile. This is where students often gravitate to work in centers.

A classroom rug would make that space so much more comfortable for their little bodies.

We will use it daily. This is where we gather to learn new games, listen to read-a-louds, work in centers, and play partner games.
