The time has come to spruce up our classroom and create a more welcoming environment! When I moved to this school two years ago, I made do with the rug that was provided. However, it was a bit dated and did not have clearly marked personal spaces. My students have endured having to define the space for themselves as well as being a bit too close to each other. We spend a lot of time on the rug for instruction, so I have chosen a new rug to give my students their own personal space during this important learning time. I know from previous experience that having a defined space makes a huge difference in their focus and their ability to turn and talk to a partner. We can spend more time learning rather than settling disagreements about personal space. It also helps with transitions to and from our desks and allows for more choices when someone needs to move. I want to ensure my students are comfortable in their learning space at all times.
My students remain more focused during instruction and transitions when they are clear about where to sit or move to throughout the day.
The product that I have selected will help my students by giving them ample personal space to maximize learning time and their ability to make effective personal learning choices at school.
