Effective Affective Domain

I am struggling to get my classroom organized, and consequently my instruction is suffering too.
Before I begin lamenting the lack of space and the awkwardness of what little space is available, let me state unequivocally that I am grateful to have a room. I do not know what the physical situation is in your school, county, district, or state, but around here we have "floaters" in most schools. For those you who have the fortune of ignorant bliss, let me shatter your illusions.
Floaters do not have designated classrooms, which means that floaters move their classroom with them at least once during the school. I floated for the 2011-2012 year. I switched rooms six times a day with no base desk, computer, or preparation area.
Most of the teachers into whose rooms I floated were amazingly amenable to the arrangement, but I just could not get myself together to feel successful.Some teachers love floating, prefer it in fact. I find it excruciatingly difficult to function effectively with that frequency of upheaval.
I am ecstatic to have my own room. Even better, I am kind of insulated so noise from my room is not catastrophic. Probably my favorite thing about my room is the window; I have a room with a view.

The problems start with the addition of twenty-five grown-up sized bodies to this space.
I like to use the walls almost like stations with interactive purposes. In this room, the only space where I have managed any interactivity is the door. Even that is limited to entry and exit.
At a popular education site, I learned that with just $1000, a full three day weekend, 8 professional designers, and forty so volunteers (not to mention the express permission of the principal and district), I can create an ideal learning environment (or at least make a good start).
If it were not for the money, professionals, volunteers, and permission, I could have done it over Labor Day weekend. ;-)
Then, too, there is the question of priorities. If I really did get access to those resources, is classroom design the best first use? With that much money, I could feed all 150 of my students snacks for a month. I could provide all of their school supplies (no more McDonald's napkins for tissues) for the year. Imagine the impact that could be made by 8 professionals each volunteering 3 days for 1 classroom. They could mentor, tutor, entertain, and/or inspire. Along with the other 40 volunteers, they could demonstrate how much our kids and their education mean to the community.
While all those volunteers are effecting social change in the classroom, I could actually get some grading done.
