Through my student teaching experience, I have learned the importance of providing a safe classroom environment where students' needs are met. I will be teaching first grade, and many of the activities that we will be doing will require students to come sit together, whether it is for morning messages, read aloud book time, whole group instruction or even independent work. A classroom carpet provides a designated meeting place where everyone in the classroom can come together.
Providing my students with a carpet will give them a comfortable meeting area where they will not only receive instruction but can also learn about each other. Students can work together with partners and sit in flexible ways. They will have a place that feels warm and inviting unlike a tile floor.
Aside from these benefits, having a carpet that has specific sitting spots can help as a management tool. I envision this carpet creating an area where a community can come together and learn.
