Where am I going to Sit

Well, I did not know before but now I do. A few months ago I was able to lay down some Sit Spots in a First Grade Classroom that was being over run with a Big Ole Rug of the United States. I don't know why or who thought the United States was a good idea for first graders, like as if, the first graders are going to sit 2 to a state maybe 3 for the larger states. Who knows what the logic was? But, you can see the BIG OLE US rug in the pic below. We just shoved it over to put down the SitSpots. So, months later and the Sit Spots are still in tact and going strong. I would take a new picture but it looks identical. No peeling, No messed up edges, No one spot was eaten by a vacum, No icky tape residue. Wow, a teacher's dream and a custodian's dream.

 Now, these first graders know where to sit and there is no sobbing, shoving, overlapping legs or unwanted touching.  Or my favorite the kid who knowingly sits in another kid's spot and then acts likes it is his spot. Dialogue: Teacher: "I don't think you are in a red square Juan?" Juan: "What? Red Square.", then stays in the red square that is not his motionless. Teacher: "Juan let me check my seating chart." but before you can check it 3 Know it all Nellie's chime in: "No, he does not that is Braxton's spot." 3 minutes of instructional time wasted and then you have to tell Juan directly" Juan please move that is not your spot you are not California you are Texas." then you have to point to and stand next to Juan's spot in Texas. Holy Moly gotta love first graders.

 On a more exciting and optimistic note today, I just collected more orders from teachers in my district who also want the Sit Spot magic: So Everyone Knows Where to Sit! More exciting a couple of weeks ago I went the Southern California Blogger Bash and POW! SHaZamm! Who was there?
