SitSpots® 30 Blue Circle Pack - The Original - Classroom Circle Floor Dots | The Original Sit Spots for Your Classroom Seating, Organizing and Managing Your Students (4" Circles (30), Blue)

These spots aren’t going anywhere! They stay secure to the rug and can be vacuumed over and don’t budge. My kinders are doing well with them and don’t remove them.

I am absolutely obsessed with Genuine SitSpots! I am a special education/ELL preschool/Pre-K teacher and am always trying to find creative ways to keep children engaged in learning. I must confess that I have multiple sets of SitSpots. So why SitSpots you ask? They are, are these amazing velcro backed circles that you can write on to create fun games or activities for your little ones in a classroom, home school, or even home environment. They can also be applied to carpets to help little ones understand personal space. However the more of these I get, the more uses I find for them!When I found these I was so excited because they were blank so I could pretty much customize these however I wanted...such a great find! (My other ones were preprinted, and I love these too, but the possibility to use them in new ways was way too tempting for me...challenge accepted!) These are so versatile. You can use these to write numerals on, then draw the same number of dots on another circle and have children find the corresponding dots that go with the numeral, making a matching game.I also use these to help support my early learners with literacy skills throughout the day, I wrote both uppercase letters and lowercase letters for letters in their name on colored tape, placing letters on each SitSpot, then challenged children to find the letters in their name which have been hidden throughout the classroom in a large-scale scavenger hunt. This helped children to not only identify and name letters and sounds, but also had them looking for letters in their friends' names too! They had so much fun trying to find the letters of their name and putting them in order! We did this in the beginning of the year, then towards the end of the year we did it again so they could practice putting the letters of their last names together. (I have also drawn shapes on SitSpots with colored tape to have them first to identify the SitSpot Shape, then try to find other shapes in the classroom to match the shape on the SitSpot.) SitSpots are a fun way to keep all my students engaged, because they are easy to hold and use.SitSpots are great to write commonly used words on so little ones can start recognizing "sight" words. For my early readers for example I have written words like a, the, it, etc. and have children find those words in books, using the SitSpot as their tool to "match" the words as they are "reading".SitSpots are the perfect size for my pocket charts, and they stick nicely to my flannelboard. Sometimes I will have all the children's names displayed on the SitSpots in a pocket chart or on my flannelboard then have them find their name as I call them to wash their hands as a transition activity, or to line up to go outside. Because the SitSpots are the perfect size for this, even my students with fine motor challenges can manipulate these easily making these an invaluable learning tool. They are also great for writing color words on too, and having children "read" color words. I am excited to get more SitSpots so I can use these to help my students practice AB, ABB, and ABC patterns!I highly recommend sticking with Genuine SitSpots (no pun intended!) because they are made from high quality materials, are easy to clean and sanitize (critical in any busy classroom). Hopefully you get a chance to become at least partially obsessed too! Try these, and I promise you will love them.

I rarely write negative reviews but these sit spots were horrible. They barely stuck to my classroom carpet, we even pushed a large block on them to make the stick more. They were pealing and not sturdy at all. I had to remove them after the first day and find another option. So disappointed.
