This was the set up in my classroom, including a comfy chair section where students loved to sit and hang out before and after class, making it a welcoming space. The chairs were also for students in class, and I found that students tended to self regulate around whether or not the comfy chairs were a good idea for them for their own working needs. Some students needed some guidance in that area, but it is good to provide lots of working spaces for students so that they can have the opportunity to have that choice. I discuss that in my Choice Project, as well.

On the wall you will also see the intentions for the class.
