  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!)
I would sit down with the student and come up with some type of individualized morning routine with a checklist. Give the student special jobs to complete in the morning, such as making sure the morning work is passed out and putting the correct date on the board. Have the student check these 'to-do' items off of his specialized list. The last item on the list could be 'sit down and complete morning work'

Comments: I wouldn't give the student his own morning routine. He would question why his classmates do not do what he does and that might frustrate him. Giving him responsibilities that involve checking homework or agendas is a better idea because every student has to have homework so he feels like his job is important.

Comments: I agree but I do think the individualized routine should not be far off from what is required from the rest of the class. Maybe add a task or two.
