The bright blue rug, and its brilliant orange, green, red, purple and navy circles help the the students sit comfortably and in their spots when we are doing group learning. The rug is also the center of our morning and afternoon circles, when we bring in the day with routines and finish the day with appreciations. We are on the rug for Spanish, Art, Math, Literacy, Phonics, Science, Social Studies, Social Emotional Learning, and Music. It is the center of learning for everything we do!\r\n\r\nOur class has spent the last month learning about the sun, moon, and stars, and have done this while sitting on our beautiful and comfy rug.
