How do you set up your classroom gathering spaces?

I have a classroom rug that fits all of my students with a carpet spot and their number. I also have some flexible seating choices in our meeting area. These include three wobble seats, a four seater bench and a small sofa. I assign kids to their spot most of the time. These optional seating choices were needed to spread us out, my wigglers need an option, and one friend always had a hard time getting up out of the floor due to physical needs so He has the sofa and friends so he is not isolated. I use the bench for a few kids that need a more concrete seat. We are all in the same place and everyone has a sense of belonging as this is a place for learning. We chant “carpet time is learning time” to start.
