Monthly Journey Journal - Exit Tickets

By



 This year, I'm going to make sure I use exit tickets more often. It's a way to wrap up your class and also to assess your students on what you did that day. I made this simple sample paper booklet for the students to use as a model and make their own. 
At the end of a class, they have to write or draw something new they learned or found interesting that day. They can add the date and be creative with the information they add. 
They write their names on the little paper boat that is tied to the booklet and dangles on the side. If you're already back in the classroom, it would be best if students left their booklets at school, so everybody is sure to have theirs to work in.
When you hand them back at the end of the month, students will be able to share with their parents what they experienced that past month.
I'll be using this with my early teens group.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

By
 Last days of class and everything is Christmasy! I used paint and markers to liven up my students' paper portfolio envelopes with a holly ribbon. The kids loved them! They then added their own Christmas theme decorations to their portfolios. We also made holiday bookmarks which were pretty easy to make with leftover craft paper from the year. And look who I got to take a picture with at the mall! 🎄

My Little Garden

By
Based on a story my fourth-graders read in class about a girl who wanted a garden in her small apartment, I had the class think about what a garden needs. Students first wrote what a garden needs to grow strong and glued this paper with their answer on the back of a green paper. They then made flowers and stems to create their garden. We folded 2 slips of paper to make the stem so the flowers would pop off the page. It was facinating to see how each garden, despite having the same elements, was so diferent.

How are you today?

By
No matter how old my students are, we always start the class by me asking them how they are, or sometimes them asking each other. To help with this opening routine, I made this feelings wheel and now when I ask my fourth-graders how they are, they use a clothespin to attach to the image of how they are feeling. Recently, I've been choosing a mini-teacher and they have to choose 3 students and ask them how they are. They then show the class the student's answer on the feelings wheel and ask the class how he or she is. The class has to give a complete answer, he or she is excited, for example. In a classroom where I can't use screens, this wheel has been a great helper.
