I have found in my five years of teaching that students are most comfortable and ready to learn when they can spread out and move around.
I think sometimes we forget that we are dealing with little people who still need to move and get their wiggles out. They can do this by having a soft space to lay on the floor while working in partners or on independent work.
We are also learning about the geography of the world so the map rug would be perfect to help them visually see where we are in the world on a daily basis.
My students love to sit on the rug, but our current rug is hard and falling apart. The seat cushions would help for those students who like to sit in the corners of the room but our floor is very hard.
