  Case: Starting the Day
I have a student that comes into the classroom and throws his backpack on the ground, comes into the classroom disrupting everyone. He doesn't get to work when he comes in the classroom, he won't stay in his seat and he insists on bothering other students. He is mainly this way when he first comes in in the morning. I am not sure the best way to handle this, any advice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Try getting his attention when he arrives to avoid his disrupting the class. Offer him a small task to keep him distracted but feel important at the same time. If this works, try making the tasks consume less and less time so he has time to complete his morning work.

Comments: I think this solution is best because it gives the student something to do to make them feel as though they are helping and making a difference in the classroom but also suggests that the student takes on activities that take less and less time so this does not become something else they use as an excuse not to do their morning work.

Comments: I like this solution. Allowing the child to do a small task as to not disrupt the rest of the class is a great thing to do. But it is important to shorten these tasks once you see that the student is improving that way they do have time to complete their morning work.
