...if you buy it they will sit!
(Trying to play off of, Field of Dreams, if you build it they will come...I speak movies fluently!)
My students currently sit on a 5 x 8 teacher purchased carpet, that I have placed color velcro dots on to designate space. The carpet accommodates only 15 of my 20 students.
The other 5 sit on the floor around the carpet, this is a challenge as it makes those few feel separate from the whole. So much that often during "read alouds" (best student-teacher connecting time of the day) students will choose to remain at their desks rather than join their peers in such cramped conditions.
Even more challenging is instruction time...I have a few students that struggle to listen to 5 minutes of instruction because they are being touched by their peers bony knees in the back. Others that find it difficult to respect personal space and keep their hands to themselves.
With the tight quarters I have been unable to have students bring their whiteboards and dry erase markers to have all actively participate in math lessons.
They are also unable to bring their Reading books to carpet to share reading strategies because they do not have enough space.
Help me to give my students the carpet of their dreams, to be all in it together.
