Last week, at the Southern California Kindergarten Conference, I encountered an amazing new product....
SitSpots.
These little velcro goodies can stick to the carpet (and don't come off easily) to help organize and manage your classroom. Take a look...
I think ideally, I would use the
SpitSpots instead of a class carpet. I would evenly space them on the carpet so the students would all have a spot for "carpet time." Look and see some ways of using
SpitSpots in an elementary classroom...
During center time, I have the students practice reading their essay or journal entries to the students in their group. I normally have them sit in a circle, but still in 4th grade you have the squirmy ones that have a hard time sitting still. Now with
SitSpots, I made a little reading corner! The author can sit in the chair, and the listeners can each sit on a
SitSpot. This keeps them all spaced and ready to be good listeners!
The students came up with the idea for using SpitSpots to help organize our centers. I wrote a number on each
SpitSpot, and the students take their center to the corresponding marker on the carpet!
This is a horrible picture, BUT you can see that I placed some Spit Spots randomly around the room. I have the students work in collaborative groups several times a day, and they normally get super close to other groups. But now, the students have to work near a
SpitSpot. This keeps all of the groups spaced evenly around the room.
This is for all of you meticulous teachers out there that HATE it when your table groups get off-centered. I put a SitSpot where the center of each table group should be. This keeps the desks organized and tidy!
