They each got to pick a \"smiley face\" to sit on. It has defiantly brought back their willingness to sit for longer periods of time. When we do stations, they all want to sit on new rug to learn. They are also taking great care of it. We got a new student the other day and they all told him the rules of the carpet..lol It is teaching them responsibilities and how to take care of something. It is crazy how something so simple can make such a huge impact in a classroom. Again, we thank you so very much for the amazing gift. We are so thankful for each and every one of you!
