This is a simple sheet that I use for students to check out books from my classroom library. I copy the sheet front/back, hole punch, and place the copies in a folder. You could also just attach them to a clipboard. When the students want to check out a book, they fill in the date, their name, and the title of the book. When the book is returned, they place a check in the &quot;returned&quot; column. Students can complete the information themselves, or the information can be completed by a student whose job is classroom librarian.

This no prep set will help your students learn and assess some key vocabulary words while reading the novel Holes.
