My Project

By having a large comfortable carpet area, students will have a space to gather during lesson time and throughout the day.

In kindergarten, we do almost of our lessons gathered around the easel, book, or white board, making a carpet essential.

By keeping students in close proximity I am able to keep them engaged in the content. It also allows for higher interaction between the students and myself.

A carpet area also allows an area for kids to have breaks from sitting at a table ,which can be difficult for many kindergarteners. By providing a comfortable area for student to stretch out, complete work, enjoy books, and engage in group activities the learning environment of my classroom would be greatly appreciated improved!
