Large area rugs are a staple of the modern-day elementary classroom. They are used to gather students for mini-lessons, spread out on during independent work time, and help with classroom community building activities. The rug in our classroom is one that I have had since I began teaching 9 years ago. I bought it from a thrift store for $35 and it has served it's purpose well, but it is old, dingy, and needs to go! My students deserve a clean, bright, welcoming area where we can gather, build our class community, complete classwork, and LEARN! What I love about the carpet I have selected is that it is educational. Having taught 5th grade for four years now, I've noticed some of the most common questions I get asked by students are about the geography of our country. Many of my students have not traveled outside the state of Florida, or even out of Northeast Florida! I find myself routinely pulling down the large US map that is hidden behind my projector screen to show students the places that they are reading about in their books, learning about in class, or hearing about in the news. If we have this beautiful carpet, it will not only brighten up our room, but serve as a focal point for learning and educational discussion.
