I have had the same rugs in my classroom for 13 years. Yuck! They are small, worn, fraying and depending on class size from year to year, may or may not fit ALL students comfortably. A new rug would be clean, large and an organized space for students to feel comfortable as we gather for Morning Meeting, join together in mini-lessons, or play games during math workshop station. We spend lots and lots of time on the carpet in first grade!
Giving students a choice of a place to work or play in the classroom allows students to take charge of their learning. During independent work times and play workshop, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their tables.
The rug that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The rug will be extremely beneficial for implementing Play Workshop in my classroom this year!
