My Project

Large group time is one of the most important parts of our school day when all of the students come together on the rug to learn.

A rug that is large enough to fit our entire class and gives students adequate space will allow us to interact better as a group.

I love this rug because it has letters on it! I would like to assign each student a letter to sit on, on top of having their spot to sit on, this would also help them with alphabet knowledge!
