My students would be so excited to have a warm, clean spot on the floor to sit on. It would be amazing to have a carpet that was in the shape of the world so my students would not only have a cozy spot to sit on, but also a spot to learn geography on! I teach many mini-lessons on the easel/carpet area and currently they sit on a cold, tiled floor. While my students are amazing and rarely complain, I often see them uncomfortably squirming while they are trying to pay attention to the lesson. I thrive teaching my students through interactive, engaging lessons that are hands-on and out of your chair types of lessons. My favorite part of the day is reading to my students during our "Read A Loud" and "Shared Reading" times. Our school was built in the 60's and does not have many up-to-date features. Our hard tiles that the kids sit on currently are definitely not motivating for the students to come to. I feel like my students would learn and participate so much more if they had a large, soft carpet to sit and learn on. Furthermore, I want to try to have various types of flexible seating for the students to work and learn on throughout the day. Not only will the carpet provide them with an alternative to sitting in a boring regular chair all day, but so will the wobble stool I have listed on this project. My students deserve the best and I strive to provide them with the best opportunities to learn. A large, soft carpet and wobble stool would be provide them with the basics of providing them with a comfortable learning environment so they can learn and work to the best of their abilities!
