They sit on their circle and deepen their relationships with each other. \r\n\r\nAt centers, a group of students gather on the rug to work on task cards, play learning games, and read together. Because of you, they have a clean, comfortable place to sit and deepen their learning together. \r\n\r\nI truly believe a classroom rug is an essential part of a classroom and I am so grateful to have a beautiful, new rug for my students to use.
