  Case: Bored student
There is a child in Mr. Wells' 4th grade classroom who is an extremely smart and gifted child. He become bored in the classroom when he is not challenged enough. When he becomes bored, he starts to misbehave. Since he misbehaves, he is sent to the office and misses instructional time. He does not need the instructional time to be successful but is often out of the classroom so he is not benefiting from school. How can the teacher change the way that she challenges her student to ensure they are not bored?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher could have an additional folder of assignments for this student to complete if he finishes his other work early. He could also keep a book of the student's choosing or some games or activities in another corner of the room for the student to use if he needs them. For a student that young, a reward system might also help. Even as little as, "You were good today. Here is a Starburst."

Comments: I would do this solution, it will most likely solve the problem. A reward and extra worksheets will keep the student occupied and happy that he works so hard.
