I am looking for ideas for book check out time. I have stressed to the teachers over and over about the importance of reminding the students to bring back their books on their check out day. I even went as far as placing notes/emailing them about the next days checkout, but inevitably I always have a few students who forget their books, and they are usually the unreliable ones so I don't let them check out any more than what they already have. I can recall one class that consistently had 50% of the students forget their books. This leaves a gaggle of students with nothing to do. I don't want them shelving books ( as I stated, unreliable) and when I tried to put them on the computer to do various webquests my forgotten book rate went UP because the rest of them would rather be on the computer. Worksheets don't work because I can't keep track of 1500 learning levels and end up giving a kid who can't read or write a too hard worksheet which causes problems. I find the behavior problems get out of control when they don't bring their books backs. They just don't want to do anything. any suggestions? It's a K-6 school.
