My Project

Having an organized classroom is essential. Classroom Rugs are a great help in organizing classroom activities but also have other benefits. Rugs produce a comfortable place for teachers and young students to expand their learning space onto the floor.

A rug in my classroom is a great way to promote positive behavior and create a warm and friendly environment.

Having a classroom rug helps define the space for carpet time and gives kids an easy-to-understand place to go when they are called on to go the circle.

When sitting in several curved rows on the rug right in front of me, my students will be close enough to note details in illustrations or photos, actively respond to questions, and chime in with the reading of a book or poem.

When sitting in a horseshoe pattern, we can use the interior area of the rug to spread out materials such as math manipulatives, science models, or historical artifacts. Sitting in a circle will create a sense of community and convey to students my interest in listening and sharing along with them.
