  Case: Not sitting appropriately
What do I do with a 5th grade student who is constantly out of his seat, putting his feet in the aisle, and stretching across his chair rather than sitting in it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As I learned in my health class, you can give the student a medicine ball as a seat. This allows them to get their energy out without getting up. Be sure to explain the rules like no rolling or bouncing.

Comments: While this is a great idea and is used by many teachers, it may not always be in the budget to get all of the students these chairs.

Comments: If the student is having difficulty sitting properly in a regular chair I don't believe the addition of a medicine ball will help.
