In my classroom, there are focuses on community and literacy. In order to create a healthy room where all of my students can feel together as a group, I am hoping to providing a class rug which will serve several purposes. At this rug, students will be able to have enough space and comfort to focus on whatever the task at hand is. Whether they are all carrying white boards, class texts, or clipboards, they will have room to work while being in close proximity to their peers. We are all thrilled to engage with read alouds daily and to have morning meetings at a space that is conducive to our learning! My two classes of 25 and 26 are hoping to have a space where they can chat and do turn-and-talks as a community. I love these kinds of rugs, which provide individual seats and enough room to feel that you are safe in your own space. I know my students will love it, too!
