Carpet Floor Circle Sit Markers, SitSpots Alphabet A-Z Carpet Spots for Classroom | The Original Sit Spots for Your Classroom Carpet Seating (Multi Colors) (Alphabet (A-Z))

The colors and letters are attractive for little ones. These circles are small and the velcro on the back is very tightly woven so it doesn't really stick on a carpet as it is shown on the site as floor spots.

I am so excited to get these SitSpots for my classroom! As a classroom teacher, I buy many things for my classroom out-of-pocket. This means whatever I choose, I need to be able to use it in multiple ways to get the most bang out of my buck. These are a great investment because they are inexpensive compared to other materials that are out there and are extremely versatile. I would recommend these for any teacher, families that homeschool, grandparents, or anyone who wants a high-quality visual tool to help engage their little ones in learning the letters of the alphabet.I find these so useful; not only for their intended use as “place markers” to place on the carpet to help my little ones understand personal space during routine circle time activities, (a necessity in my classroom) but also to help my little ones focus on learning both upper and lowercase letters.My students are drawn to these because of their bright colors. As soon as I take them out of my bag, my little ones began to huddle around me. They cannot wait for me to open and use them. The fun part of introducing these is seeing their amazement after I show them how SitSpots can attach to not only the carpet, but pieces of Velcro on my blackboard and on my felt board. They are quite honestly mesmerized by this! SitSpots are also the perfect size for little ones to hold and manipulate for games and the Velcro-type back helps keep them in place, which is helpful for some students with fine motor challenges.Here are some of the ways that I use these: We place the letters on the carpet in alphabetical order, then invite students to find the letter for their first name. We then count out how many friends were by each letter, then graph it as a class. SitSpots help them see graphing in a real-world application. We place them on the carpet in alphabetical order, and have children find objects in the classroom to match to the corresponding SitSpots letters, helping them learn that phonics is around us in everyday objects. Another game we play is placing the SitSpots letters in random order, then have the children work together cooperative to put them in alphabetical order. They absolutely love this game and will play it over and over again. We have used these to mark the carpet for bean bag games to show them where to stand and used the letters as targets to aim the bean bags at and name the letters they land on.These are fantastic because they literally require no prep. (Normally I would trace or print out letter circles, cut them out, laminate them, then cut out what I laminate). These are such a time-saver! With SitSpots, the possibilities are endless. I can’t wait to order more sets so I can use them for matching and patterning! Also, SitSpots are so easy to wash and sanitize. We just spray them with soap and water mix and quat spray (a sanitizing spray mixture used in some classrooms.) and let them dry. Ta da, like magic we were able to use them again! I am extremely happy with this product, and I know that you will be too!

Pre-K to third grade...all rooms are so full. Use these for teaching kids to recognize letters and numbers, or just to stay organized! Love the colors and how well made they are. Highly recommend!
