For my first project, I am asking for a classroom rug for whole group instruction. Our classroom has tile floors so adding a large rug will make sitting on the floor comfortable for my students. Having a large rug in a primary grade is so important. At the age of 6 and 7, students like to move around. Sitting in one spot all day will allow students to become tired and restless. With the requested rug, students can sit crisscross applesauce while working with friends as well as have the opportunity to take their shoes off and dance to some GoNoodle tunes during a brain break. As a teacher, I love being able to sit on the floor and engage in conversations and activities with my students. In 1st grade, we spend at least 40% of our day on the rug. If fully funded, my students will be able to sit comfortably on the floor during stations and instructional learning.
