This carpet is great! It has 28 smiley faces on it, one for each student in my class to sit on. The smiley faces are spread out so that the students are not sitting on top of each other and everyone has their own personal space. \r\nThe colors of the carpet are beautiful and very inviting for kids as they come into the classroom. The kids love being able to choose their favorite color of smiley face to sit on whenever we go to the carpet. \r\nThe carpet is primarily being used for read alouds during our class time. It is also used for group sharing time during our morning meetings as well as a place that the students can work with a partner at. It will be used on indoor recess days where the kids can build with legos and magnetic blocks on the carpet. Thank you once again for your generosity.

As adults we often read books based off of favorite authors or recommendations of friends. I love that as our library expands students are trying new authors and genres, and taking risks by sometimes choosing a more difficult or lengthy book. \r\n\r\nThere were two books out of stock so hopefully in the future we can find those and close up the one small gap we have.

My Spanish speakers were happy to have more books to choose from in their native language. I love how they get excited to pick up books in both Spanish and English, building their second language while continuing to expand their first language. \r\n\r\nThere was also a group of very happy students when we opened Mr. Wolf's Classroom. This series was a student request, as we only had book once in the series. It has become very popular recently, and is picked up by a student as soon as one is put back on the shelf.
