Mrs. Ruf’s Classroom Edit display name

Having a classroom meeting space changes the climate of the classroom environment for the better. The gathering area allows students to feel both safe and comfortable. It fosters a supportive community feel among the learners AND teachers. To hold my kindergarten learners' attention, I want them close to me. I want them to hear and see everything during the gathering periods here at the rug. This is my chance to model for them what I expect of them when I release them out on their own! I want my students to feel as though they are all gathered as one big classroom family, supporting each other in all of our learning and building upon both social and academic skills throughout the school day. Having a bright, new gathering rug will give my students this opportunity daily!
