What kids do

“Four tickets on a page. Answer the teacher’s question, then circle a stoplight color to show how you feel about it.”

Teacher tip

Pull the red tickets first and meet with those students the next day.

How to use it

  • Sort the tickets into piles to plan tomorrow’s small groups.
  • Collect tickets at the door as kids leave or line up.
  • Fill one in with the class the first time so kids see what a finished one looks like.

Watch for

Kids copying a neighbor. Spread out or give two different questions.

Talk about it

  • How sure are you about today’s lesson?
  • What is one thing that went well this week?

Take it further

Use the same ticket a week later to check for growth.
