A rug in a classroom is more than just a rug. It becomes magical because it is the place where many changes take place over the course of a day! Learning, reading, sharing, managing of emotions...all kinds of transformations occur in our hearts and minds on our classroom rug.
This year, in addition to it being our morning meeting spot, read aloud place, and quick lesson pit stop, I plan to incorporate the art of meditation on our rug. My students need a special, comfortable place to sit and learn to manage their emotions. Social emotional learning is in my opinion the most important part of the day. I have learned that it actually boosts learning!
Giving to this project will aid my classroom in so many ways! Be a part of turning my class into a family, and our classroom into a home!
