My Project
I am a 3rd grade special education teacher in Jersey City, NJ. More than half of the students in my school get free or reduced-price lunch. My school embraces a school motto that emphasizes "Respect, Accepting Others, Caring, and Excelling" in all areas. My classroom is home to a racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse group of amazing youngsters. I am proud to be their teacher and treat this as a privilege. It is my mission to create projects that will help me enrich the learning experience for my students.
A classroom carpet is more than just a decorative item—it plays a vital role in creating a nurturing and effective learning environment for young students.
A carpet provides a defined space for students to gather during whole-group lessons, morning meetings, read-alouds, and circle time. This fosters a sense of community and allows for more structured and focused interactions. Young learners benefit from movement and flexible seating. A soft carpet allows students to sit comfortably on the floor, helping them stay engaged during lessons and reducing the distractions that come from hard or cold flooring.
Carpets with designated seating spots or patterns help maintain order and give each child a personal space. This reduces behavioral issues and helps with transitions throughout the day. A carpet can help prevent slips and falls, especially in classrooms where students are frequently transitioning between activities or sitting on the floor. Carpeting helps absorb sound, reducing noise levels and creating a more focused and calm learning environment. A warm, colorful carpet can make the classroom feel more inviting and child-friendly, which can have a positive effect on students' mood and willingness to learn.
We would love to add this colorful carpet to our classroom and enjoy it for many years to come!
