The environment in my classroom is one that we all strive to provide a safe and effective learning environment. The academics presented to my students are rigorous and demand much on the students and their attention levels. Our classroom roster is at capacity with 36 students and we happily open our doors to 2 additional Special Needs students who mainstream into our classroom for English Language Arts. We have one of the highest attendance rates in our district because our students place great responsibility on their academics and education. With that being said, when every student is in their seats, we happily have 38 students actively learning at any given time; add in myself and it is 39 bodies in one space. We have developed a great family unit in the classroom, as we are in close quarters and must share much of the same space. We are graciously asking for tall bar stools, short stools, yoga balls, floor cushions, laptop tables, lap desks and inflatable chairs to give the 38 students various options of seating. Each of these types have advantages for the diverse student sizes in the room. The risers will raise some of our desks and the hooks will keep our backpacks off the ground. These students are growing out of their desks, facing the uncomfortableness of knees and legs not fitting under their desks; not having enough room to work between their neighbors; and overall being uncomfortable from sitting in one confined space for too long. Research has shown that students who are free to move around the room and sit how they like are more likely to stay on task and make continuous academic growth. Not even are they in a socially and emotionally safe learning environment, they can be in a physically comfortable one.
