Carpet Squares

a first grade teacher at Providence Elementary School in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Carpet square samples are wonderful to use in the classroom! In addition to being 'sit-upons,' they can also be used to define a workspace for a child or small group. Manipulatives (especially for math), games, and puzzles can be confined to a carpet square. Each student has a 'territory' marked. Most carpet and furniture stores will give the out-dated samples to teachers at no cost.
