My Project

Rug areas are essential for learning in early childhood. They can make students feel more comfortable and relaxed, which can help them focus and be engaged. They brighten the classroom and provide a space for student conversation and partner work. A rug area becomes the "CORE of the classroom"!

We will use this rug for small group instruction, community circles, and read-aloud time.

Our class will gather for our morning meeting each morning and work together to learn from each other daily on our new rug.
