Circle time rugs are important for young learners - and their teachers know it! Circle time is often how young students start their day. This is when the teacher welcomes the students, goes through their calendar routine, and discusses what they will be doing that day. Students at the preschool and elementary level do all of this while sitting on the floor, on a comfortable and often stylish circle time rug.
Why do you need a circle time rug?
A circle time rug is not just another fun accessory for a teacher to add to her classroom wishlist. It is a staple piece that teachers use to make students feel invited into the space. The circle time rugs act as a meeting ground for students and teachers each morning. Circle time is an important part of the classroom routine and helps students build their social and academic skills.
Sitting with peers and a teacher each day also helps build a sense of community within the classroom, which will help students feel more comfortable speaking up and participating throughout the school day. Classroom circle time carpets are also a great seating option for younger students who have difficulty sitting still in a chair. Sitting on a fun rug gives them more space to wiggle if they need to, and overall, it is more comfortable. Who knew a little rug could do all of these things!
