Give a positive role to the child who can't sit still and use him as the classroom messenger, to pass out papers or return books to the library. He's going to get the energy out anyway, so it might as well be in helping you out!
When students point things out, such as, "The calendar is wrong", praise them and asked them if they would take charge of it for you. They love to help and the more details you delegate the more time you have to focus on creative teaching! Any other ideas on how to harness energy in positive ways?

Shadow Teacher Perspective: the energy rock can also be used for those students who prefer to go unnoticed, are anxious about social interactions, or are shy. A rock is placed on the student’s desk with a task to accomplish. This enables the shy student to engage and become part of the classroom community. Similarly they are been placed in social situations where interactions are encouraged in a non intrusive way-Angelik.
