A Beaver???

After explaining what to do on the paper I was going to give my students, I handed it out to one student at a time and then they were to go back to their desk and get started. I handed one to Chase and he walked back to his desk. I watched him as he pulled his chair out and put his paper on his desk. He didn't sit down, however. Instead, he knelt down and started gnawing on his desk!?!

I asked him to come back over to me and he immediately got up and walked back to me. I asked him what he was doing. After putting his head down and looking to the ground in his characteristic 'ashamed' look, he said, "I was being like a beaver."

What do you say to that?
