The carpet that I have chosen for our classroom will be front and center in our classroom as a gathering space for reading and math lessons. Having a carpet in our classroom will expand our learning space as well as make our classroom more welcoming. I plan to use the carpet for whole group lessons to introduce new reading strategies, math concepts, and as a safe space for students to share their ideas and have discussions. I use a lot of anchor charts to guide students in their learning, so doing this activity at a carpet would also increase engagement as students can interact with the board more easily and engage in academic discussions with their peers. The opportunity to have a carpet in our room would also give my students time to get up, move around a bit, and sit in a different environment compared to a hard seat/desk for prolonged periods of time. It's been proven effect that when students have the opportunity to move and get blood and oxygen flowing to their brains; they can focus longer and absorb more information. With your help and donation, we would be able to increase our excitement to learn while making our classroom environment a calming and relaxing place to be.
