My students have binders for my class. Each student has a binder that lives on the shelf at the back of my room. In theory, they retrieve this binder at the beginning of class and put them away at the end of each class.
On occasion, the binders are not put away properly. Students will sometimes stay after to help clean up their class’s section of the shelf. Today, one of my particularly ridiculous/hilarious 7th graders stayed after for just that purpose. He even sorted them by color (black on one side, blue on the other). When appraising his work–to be fair, the binders were pretty neat–he proudly stated:
“Man, that’s sexy.”
Indeed, those are very sexy binders.
