Monthly Journey Journal - Exit Tickets

 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.

Transportation!

Here’s a great theme for young learners! There’s so much you can explore and create. My kids started with boats and then today we made cars. Of course, paper was our material of choice. Our sea needed fish and our boats needed sails and some decorations. Our cars will drive through the streets of the big floor map we’re going to make and play with next class.
