My Project

My students love to learn. They eagerly carry their work to the floor and each spread out as if she and/or he is the only one using the space. They often take up an enormous amount of space when they are working with manipulatives and other classroom materials. In an effort to define their independent learning space, I would like to use table mats and small rugs to bring order (structure) to the classroom during independent station work.

To help my students organize, maximize student productivity and help students define their work space, I will use table mats and small floor rugs.
