My Project

Our early intervention preschool classroom is in need of a calm, relaxing, blue circle time carpet. In the daily hustle and bustle of a busy preschool classroom, we need a special place to gather as a class. Having a large area carpet for circle time helps our students to relax, learn to sit, and engage in circle time activities. There are so many beautiful carpets out there, but we have found that the serene color of blue helps our children to focus and sustain their attention best.

In preschool, there are so many wonderful skills and activities that we teach daily at circle time: giving and receiving, turn-taking, sitting, colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and more all through music and play.

Our music and creative movement times are a very big part of our day. A large area carpet will help our students to engage in all large group activities in a defined space. When our students have opportunities to exercise their bodies through music and dance they release lots of energy. Happy preschoolers who have opportunities to shake their sillies out, equal happy teachers. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read about our project, and to celebrate our youngest learners!
