Carpet Time

by NC teach

Jun 29, 2011

I am new to fifth grade and I will be teaching Language Arts. I know that, for mini lessons in writing, my younger kids have always enjoyed carpet time. Do any of you use carpet time for fith graders? Are they to old for this?

Thanks,

NC teach

StephR I have a rug as well. I have the students come over to the rug for many different things (math instruction, calendar, read aloud, etc...) Steph

Sam It would help if you explained what you think carpet time is.

NC teacg I am talking about bringing all the students to the carpet to discuss literature or to have mini-lessons in writing. Possibly even to reflect on the lesson or the day.

A time to come together.

Sam Oh. Then no age is too old for that.

4TH Kids are never too old for carpet time. It is nice for them to get up and move. I often use it when kids have not been paying attention...I just have my next subject on the carpet. It changes things up.
