Building a classroom community environment where students feel like they are a part of a great school, and that they matter every day is one of my daily goals as a fifth grade teacher. One way that this happens is through Morning Meeting (Sunrise Meeting). Currently, students sit on the floor every morning to interact with one other, engage in academics related to what we have been learning and participate in team building activities. It is my hope that with a cozy, comfortable rug, students will feel more comfortable in our classroom community. They will also use this space during direct instructional times. Believe it or not, 5th graders love to come down to the carpet to learn just as much as little kindergartners. I love getting students up and out of their desks to increase activity and engagement throughout the day. A classroom rug would allow for students to feel more comfortable than sitting on the regular floor. Students will also be able to pull up a soft pillow and read a book of their choice during our independent reading time. This specific rug also connects to our mathematical learning with shapes and fractions! Check out the hexagonal shape composed of smaller triangles!
