HELP !!!! Classroom Issue

Our district just told us we have to removed our carpet out of all classrooms. I have a huge colored square carpet that sits 30 kids. They are colored with red, purple, blue, green, and orange, which matches my table colors and the kids chair pockets. I have to come up with something to put down on the floor to keep the kids in their own spot. So they have their space. I am looking for any ideas, suggestions, anything and if so please send pictures for ideas. They are saying we may get rubber mat, but. I am not sure about that. I thought about putting each kid something down on the floor with contact paper, or using coloring tape.

 HELP , I have to do this right away.

Thanks for any ideas, and thought because I know with all our teaching heads together someone will be able to help me come up with a new thing to do.

I would like to share my MORNING BRAIN BUSTERS worksheets. I have created a packet of worksheets that have a back and front page ELA and MATH. I am now working on Unit 2. These are aligned with the Reading Street Series, they only follow the same letters and sight words that are introduced. But these can be used in any classroom. It is all following the common core.

Easter Bunnies and Freebie

Well I have made today my day for things to try and get back to normal. My daughter is home from the hospital, so that is a lot of 2 hours trips there and 2 more back home every other day. Now I can get to blogging. I would like to post a picture of the kids EASTER BASKETS from last year, they are so cute and we are getting ready to start making them. I am going to take pictures this time of each part and post how to make them. My classroom has been doing a lot with Dr. Seuss week, and teaching 3D shapes.

Tomorrow we are having an edible 3D shape party, thanks to a co -worker and pinterest for great ideas.

Also please check out another freebie on TPT of sample sheets in my DOLCH words packet.

Crazy

WOW!! Things have been crazy since coming back from Mardi Gras break, I am still running back and forth with my daughter in the hospital, but yeah good news, she is improving and doing so much better, BEWARE OF MEDCINE- her first doctor had her on too much medicine and it was doing more harm than good, making her more depressed and angry. SO of course I am switching doctors, but also grateful for the one she has in the hopsital right now.

Back to school , I have decided to work on another masters degree, I have one in early childhood, but I want to learn more about psychology) to help prevent things like what happened to my daughter, I would like to catch it before it turns into a suicide attempt. I started this semster taking two night classes and I am loving them, I am learning things that help when her doctors speak to me, I have heard the terminology and can understand a little of what is going on. I had my first test online last night and made an "A" so proud of myself with everything going on.

Well as for as myself I joined the Girls On the Run team at school to help out as a coach. I am just getting into the gym myself so I thought this would help motivate me. I know I am rampling on tonight, but I have to VENT somewhere. I am not a good runner, I was a smoker but on September 17,  2012 I quit, so that make 5 months smoke free. I am hoping that will help with my running , now if I could just start to lose weight, but with the stress in my life I feel that is such a hard task, but that is my goal this week , and it is to just try. I guess I better post are I will wind up writing a book tonight LOL-

Well tomorrow is going to a bad stormy day for us, so it will be inside and gloomy for my kindergarteners, I need to think of some fun inside things to do for tomorrow. Any ideas please send them my way
