"A classroom meeting area changes the climate from an institutional setting to a home for learning."-Elizabeth Moore Creating a comfortable area in the classroom changes the classroom environment for the better in many ways. For one, the learning environment in a classroom is noticeably different from the moment one enters the room. My classroom currently has a reading library, center area, small group area, and individual learning desks. In order to complete a learning environment of optimal design, we need a meeting area or reading rug. A comfortable meeting area fosters a supportive community in a classroom. A reading rug 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 rug.
