Help me give my students the defined space and opportunity to benefit from whole group/circle time. The defined space will keep students safe, while making it easier to focus and stay on task.

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Large classroom carpets are a great behavioural tool. Encouraging all your students to sit still is near impossible, but with a colourful rug acting as an anchor things get a lot easier. Large carpets offer enough space for the whole class to sit comfortably, including me/the teacher. Students won't question where to sit because they know that sitting on the rug is required - and if even one student decides not to obey this rule then it's easy enough just to move them away from their classmates who are trying hard and have them sit near the teacher.
Carpet time allows me to see my students demonstrate whatever concepts we are working on and allows positive learning interaction between my students.
I want to design my carpet time around language arts and math. My language arts concentration is on phonics and spelling. My mathematics skills are centered around models and manipulatives.
Students will get more opportunities to explore, share, model and have FUN while learning; "I DO, WE DO...".
