Creating a comfortable meeting area the classroom changes the classroom environment for the better in many ways Having a meeting space will bring the class together to form a community of learners. The meeting area is the place where the class has conversations, learns to listen to one another and respect each other’s perspectives. They learn to consider each other’s work, and to problem solve together at the meeting area.
It does not have the same effect if students are spread out around the classroom at their desks. Students sit together at the meeting area, usually next to a partner that they can turn and talk to. For whole class conversations, they can easily make eye contact and listen more actively to one another in a group. Being physically closer engages in more active listening, more engagement, and more empathy for one another as they share ideas, hold conversations, and work together as a whole group. Gathering at the meeting are is more engaging, and more effective for whole class instruction.
Any time you are engaged in whole class instruction, it will need to be as short and as engaging as humanly possible. Being spread out around the room during a whole class lesson makes it much more difficult to hold their attention. To get the most out of the brief whole class teaching you must do, get kids up close to you. Having a classroom carpet will provide a Meeting Area To Build A Classroom Community of Learners.
