Kindergarten boys and girls need their own space. With this colorful rainbow carpet, each student will have a place to sit. The lines of each spot will show them where to keep their hands and feet. I will use the carpet to teach my kiddos about personal space and how to respect each other's space. For many of my students, this will be their first time in school. The rainbow colors also help organize the boys and girls when they move to an activity. At the beginning of the year, it is not only my job to teach academics, but classroom routines. This includes how to line up, how to listen politely when others are talking, and how to sit criss-cross with their hands and feet to themselves. This carpet would help students be successful understanding and following these Kindergarten expectations. You would not believe how much time it takes to get kindergarten boys and girls in a good spot without a carpet. With this carpet, there won't be any problems or wasted time. Each child will have their own space so they have a visual of exactly where to keep their body. We spend a lot of time learning on our carpet. We will use it during math, reading, and word work. Every time I teach whole group, we will be using our new colorful carpet. The best part is the kids will have a space to call their own.
