I chose to construct my office this way because I feel that it provides a very open and relaxed feel. I faced my desk and chair towards the door so that when students enter I am the first thing that they see. I placed the other two small chairs directly in front of me so that when students are talking to me they can know that they have my undivided attention.
If i could add extra items to my office, I would add bean bag chairs, a jar of candy, and I would add a shelf where I could place sensory items like scented clay, kinetic sand, and stress balls. I personally enjoy sitting in bean bags because those chairs feel like they are hugging you and are very cozy. When students sit in those chairs I hope to bring them a sense of warmth and security. I would like to add the jar of candy because in my experience as a teacher it is an easy way to get students to open up by giving them a sweet snack they can enjoy. Lastly, scensory items can help students to calm down if they are feeling stressed, angry, etc.
