In order to build class community and have a shared learning space, a large carpet to meet together is necessary. I find that instruction is more effective when I can "get to" each of my students whether it be during a class read-aloud, one on one instruction, or even during small group instruction. We all know that when your bottom goes numb, your brain is quick to follow. Therefore, I've found that it is critical for students to be able to get up out of their regular seats and move to a new spot for learning from time to time. Having a large carpet to meet together would enable this to happen.
