Our Pre-K classroom needs an inspiring rug for students to learn with as well as utilize at circle time.

Moving to a different classroom puts our students in the situation of having to sit on a hard floor during circle time. A circle time rug would provide our students with a soft area to sit on as well as promote learning.

We have recently moved to a new classroom and have added another full-day Pre-K class to our school. A circle time rug is a very important feature in our room. The students utilize the rug from the very beginning of the school year. The circle time rug is where the class begins their day. Each student will have their own special spot to sit on. The Busy Bee ABC Learning Rug features upper and lowercase letters, as well as shapes, numbers and number words. This item also has character development messages, such as be kind, be forgiving, and be polite. The rug will not only provide the students with a soft, warm place to sit but will also help our students with letter recognition, number recognition, shape recognition and word recognition. This rug will help the students to develop a routine in the classroom as well as aid in their learning capabilities.

Your help in this endeavor will ensure that our students have a comfortable meeting rug for circle time activities. You will also make it possible for our Pre-K students to continue their cognitive learning process by providing this visual aid.
