My Project

Have you ever seen a classroom rug that was SUPER clean? Classroom rugs get old and dirty after years and years of students learning on them! I love that this rug has more than enough spots to spread your students out but keep them close and engaged in the carpet time lesson. If they need a little more wiggle room this rug would allow them to have a spot with a little more room when needed. With 28 spots available for students every student can have their own spot or area on the rug!
