No more falling this fall!

I am very fortunate to be in the classroom I am this fall. I have been given my very own desk with loads of space to do my planning and assessing. It has been wonderful.

One not so wonderful thing has been my desk chair. I was trained very well by Mr. Debates, my keyboarding instructor in middle school, to sit at the edge of my chair when typing to have the best posture. Unfortunately, my chair is very tippy.

I discovered this the first Friday of the school year. Luckily, I was not hurt, but my back was sore for the majority of the weekend. The same thing happened the next Friday! My students were starting to whisper about me...This past Friday, I worked VERY hard to stay all the way back in my chair, and I successfully went through the day without tipping!

Today, I was given a nice heavy duty soft chair! There should be no more falling for me this fall!

  1. The "old" makes me ache just to look at it. Don't get too comfy in the new one though.

  2. I see naps at your desk in your future. The new chair looks very inviting!
