They were excited to get to use them because they could now lay down to work independently or in groups to complete work and not have to sit or lay on the hard wood floor. \r\n\r\nThere are constantly students sitting on our front rug during my lessons - very few stay at their desk space when I am teaching this year. The smaller rug - in our classroom library - offers another flexible work space during our day. Both spaces are used every single day, in every single subject...they are also where my students congregate at the end of the day for dismissal, which makes dismissal much smoother.\r\n\r\nThank you again!
