I am an early childhood teacher, and so most of my instruction is done at the "carpet area" with the students sitting together around me in a circle. I have specific squares on the carpet where students must sit, and this position changes each week. I love it, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. Even when I was in a first grade classroom, I would always call my students to the carpet to give instructions before an activity. The close proximity really does seem to help.
