This carpet is absolutely perfect for my kindergarteners. They each can have their own place to sit. This will minimize the bumping around that happens between 5-year-olds. They are still learning to navigate their bodies in space, and some have trouble keeping their body parts to themselves!
This carpet facilitates partner talk: partner talk is crucial for oral language development, and oral language is the foundation for reading and writing! For example, when making predictions before reading a story: "Tan row, turn to your partner in the yellow row. Tan row go first: 'I predict...'"
Also, the calm colors are ideal for a kindergarten classroom. Classrooms can be very overstimulating places, with all the posters and artwork and colors everywhere. Colors are useful for organizing students on the carpet, and this carpet does that without adding to visual busyness.
