Do you have a colleague or two who treat your classroom as if it were a public library? I am sharer and I love to help colleagues but it got to the point where I would go to read a book to my class and I couldn’t because it was missing. I would look everywhere only to find out later that a colleague had borrowed it without asking! I soon learned that if I could not find something, she probably had it. This was frustrating! I spent my hard earned money on these books so that I could use them in my classroom when I wanted to use them. I needed a way to deter the borrowing or at least keep track of where my items were. Hence, the “Sign Out-Binder” was born! Now, I have a record of where my items are and when they are returned. It also forces the borrowers to see just how many times they are borrowing from me. I still get to share, but not to the point where I am inconveniencing myself!
