It’s hard to imagine beginning the upcoming school year with any sense of certainty or guarantee of consistency. Increasing student’s onus of control in the classroom environment, amidst a time where many have very little autonomy, would benefit my students in numerous ways. I’d love to surprise the students with flexible seating within my classroom-setting both myself as well as my students up for daily success. I have a need for a rug or two in my classroom with linoleum flooring, both to facilitate a more traditional “circle time” with my elementary students, but also to provide all students with an additional choice of seating. My middle school students especially, crave autonomy in regard to their workspace. Linoleum floors aren’t pleasant to perch on. While we’re on the topic of l floors, let’s not forget to consider the uncomfortable and disruptive sound of a 7th grader sliding, dragging, and otherwise maneuvering chairs with metal legs across the floor. I’d love to mitigate this phenomenon by purchasing a class set of tennis ball chair leg covers. Exercise balls are a big hit with 6th-10th graders, allowing an appropriate means of fidgeting while paying attention during lessons or completing work. An alternative with greater longevity is the swivel stool- they are more economical (and better for the environment). Finally, I am fortunate to have a standing desk with room for 2-4 students. The standing desk is a big hit with students, adding a couple of stools to the mix would be greatly appreciated.
