A Carpet Is a Home for Learning

My Project

Carpet allows the students to be engaged in their learning and gives them the opportunity to work together. During instruction the students sit on two small carpets to take in the instruction that is given to them or just a place to read. Currently, the some of the students would sit on the carpet and other students would sit on the tile floor because there is no room on the carpet for them to sit on. I have noticed that these students are more engaged in their learning when they are sitting on the carpet instead of sitting at their desks.

The product that I have selected will give all my students an area to sit and make learning engaging and fun.

Capet will also give them the option of floor seating when completing their work.

I have seen how engaged the students are when they are together on the floor and their growth of learning and capturing the information that they are getting has blossomed. I hope my students will continue to grow and be engaged in their learning!
