Okay, maybe it's a > toss up. I also have coloring sheets, puzzles, etc. for the students forgetting to bring in their book. The only problem with this is more students "forget" just so they can color or play with the puzzles. Now they have to sit quietly at the table with nothing to do but watch classmates check out books. If they bother others or move from the table they have to stay a couple of minutes longer when their class leaves. Luckily, they go to recess and no one wants to miss that.
