The class was so excited to start using it and wanted to help unroll it. It's bright colors help start our morning off with excitement. Every morning, we start our day on our classroom rug by having our morning meeting. Each student has their own \"rug spot.\" After morning meeting, we start our Reading block. Students get a choice of either sitting on the rug or at their desk and most student choose the rug.\r\n Our classroom rug has different colored boxes for each student to sit in. This helps with classroom management since each student gets their own personal space and I can direct them with what colored box to sit in. We are so happy with our classroom rug and owe it all to you and your generosity.
