I’m moving into a new classroom, and one of the most important things I need to help create a warm, welcoming environment is a classroom rug. In first grade, we spend a large portion of our day gathered together on the rug for whole-group lessons, read-alouds, class discussions, and building our classroom community. Having a clean, comfortable, and clearly defined space helps my young learners focus, stay engaged, and feel at home. Unfortunately, my new classroom doesn’t have a rug, and the old one, which was handed down to me, is very worn out. A new rug would transform our gathering space into an inviting place where students feel safe, valued, and ready to learn every day. This simple addition would make a big impact on the daily experience of my students and help set the tone for a successful school year.
