My Project

As students enter the classroom, they carry with them their talents, gifts, and qualities that make them unique. Each student is special in their own, unique way. Having a rug in an all tile classroom will provide my students flexibility with seating during lessons.

When students are at the rug, it provides them a flexible seating arrangement to be more interactive with one another and it allows them the opportunity to take control of their learning.

Students love coming to a rug to sit on because it is something that is different than just sitting at their desks. This rug will be utilized daily and would be a great benefit to our all tile classroom.
