My Project

My kindergarten students are eager to learn but need to do so in a comfortable learning environment. A large colorful area rug allows us to have a comfortable place to sit during both play and learning times. The children sit on the area rug during large and small group times throughout the day for math, science, reading, and writing lessons. The students sit on the area rug when playing in certain centers as well.

"Establishing friendships is an important developmental goal for children under the age of seven.

Friendships developed during the preschool and early school years give children valuable contexts in which to learn and practice skills related to social, cognitive, communicative, and emotional development." (exchangefamilycenter.org, October 1, 2019) Sitting on the carpet with their classmates allows the students to make these connections and friendships with peers and teachers during daily morning meeting time.
