I would just have them sit on the regular floor. It is only a few
minutes and it won't hurt them. I know it's not as cozy, and they
will probably complain that it's hard, it's cold, whatever, but I'd
have them do it anyway.
Can you maybe get some small rug samples that you can put down and
take up? One for each student?

I teach 6th grade at a LARGE (almost 10,000 students) district in

floor but
the custodian has firmly planted his foot stating no rugs (hygienic
reasons), no sofas (won't pass fire inspection). I saw that you
have futons
- those would NEVER be permitted in my district.
Does anyone have ideas as to how to bring the kids up close/cozy to
engender
the feeling of sharing something - in this case a book - when there
are so
many regulations in place?
