A classroom rug is an essential place in our classroom where most of our learning takes place. We start and end our day on our classroom rug. We use the classroom rug to have morning meetings, listen to read alouds, participate in Smartboard activities, whole group lessons, and center time. I plan to use this rug for Social emotional learning. We will hold restorative circles on the carpet and classroom discussions on feelings and how we treat each other. This meeting space helps us create a classroom community. My students need a special and comfortable place of their own to sit and learn. They will be able to focus and be engaged during lessons and activities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
