This little guy here is very busy. With all the noise that can happen in a classroom, even three students crumpling up a piece of paper at the same time can cause him to get off task. Recently, he has found himself a new place to work without asking me. Of course, at first I wanted to ask him to return to his desk but after observing him, I said nothing. He sat quietly in the window seat and did his work. In a room with 26 students, he found his place of focus. I have a couple students like this who have to stand to work, or pace to stay on task. To one it may look like he is disobeying the rules, but to me, he made a way to get his work done. He took responsibility over his work. This is his calm spot. If it works for him, it works for me.
