When you gather your students up for circle time, a carpet in the destination spot can serve as a great anchor. Students won’t question where to sit, or spread out very far because the rug becomes the destination and the edges of the rug serve as a defined space for them to sit. If you’re a teacher who prefers not to have strictly assigned seats and likes to go with the flow of the day, rugs are a great place for kids to sit. It might not be as comfortable as a bean bag, but a carpet doesn’t take up space and still offers cushion for students sitting on it. Place different colored rugs around the room to serve as gathering points for seating during specific activities. Hard floors and walls tend to echo when there’s a lot of commotion inside a busy classroom. In order to help buffer the noise and make the room feel quieter, even amongst the chaos, try a Carpet. Rugs help with noise reduction, absorbing sound, rather than throwing it around. When the weather makes for wet floors, a carpet is much safer and easier to walk on than a tile floor. Tile and wood become very slippery when wet, and a rug is an excellent way to reduce the number of classroom slips and falls during the rainy or snowy times of the year. Carpets also can take a very neutral-colored room (tan, gray or white) and give it a warmer and more comfortable feeling. The plush surface reduces sound, and is comfortable to walk on. Both of these things together can make your classroom feel more welcoming and cozy than without a rug.
