  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!)
When students are out of their seat it encourages others to do the same. So the first thing is to intervene and make it apparent to the student that his posture is inappropriate and to stay in his seat and sit up. If this doesn't work, let the students know that if they need a minute or two to step away from their desk they can ask to move to the relaxation center in the classroom to stretch their legs out and walk away from their desk. This can only be accomplished on the other hand if they show that they have been on task and have had good behavior throughout the day. This is a priviege for staying on task not a reward for being able to sit still.
