My Project

My students love to be in my proximity for small group or whole group lessons. However, the rugs in the classroom are fairly small and they don't all fit on the rugs. So, some have to sit on a runner and others on chairs. But, it's never easy accommodating the students.

I would like for all my students to sit on the same comfy rug at the same time for whole-group lessons and instruction.

This time can be a direct instruction lesson, a read-aloud, or a modeling of an activity.

I am sure my students would agree that a rug that accomodates them all, is a great idea!
