My Project

My students will love sitting on this colorful foam mat. I have my students sit up close on the carpet so they can focus better during direct instruction. I have many students in my room with IEP's and this foam mat will help them greatly.

When they are sitting up close on the carpet they are not distracted with items that are in their desks.

This foam mat will be much better than a carpet because I will be able to clean it regularly. Each students will have their own square so they will not bother others.

This foam mat will help my students pay attention during whole class instruction.
