A Cozy Carpet for Our Little Learners

Help me give my students a carpet that will offer each child a personal space during group activities, which helps with behavior, social-emotional development, and classroom routine. For many students, having a defined space helps them with regulation.

My Project

A classroom carpet is more than just a rug—it’s a gathering space, a learning hub, and a place where friendships begin.

We use carpet time for morning meetings, storytime, circle time, and countless learning activities.

Right now, we do not have a designated space for these moments. A new, clean, and cozy carpet will provide structure and comfort, helping my students stay focused, engaged, and connected.

This carpet will offer each child a personal space during group activities, which helps with behavior, social-emotional development, and classroom routine. For many students, having a defined space helps them feel secure and included.
