I love to use sticky notes in my class and I have a big basket of different sizes and colors of sticky notes for my students to pick and choose from. I tend to buy them at the dollar stores or anywhere I can find them on sale as I do know they can get expensive.
Here’s a quick trick to use sticky notes as Exit Slips. A few minutes before the end of the class I’ll pass out a sticky note to each student and ask them a question. They must post their responses (with their name) on the whiteboard on the way out.
Here are some of the questions I might ask:
– What were the two most important points in today’s lesson / class?
– What are two questions you have about today’s lesson?
– What stuck with you today as being important?
– What are two things you wonder / would like to learn more about?
– What were two big ideas from today’s in-class video?
Here are some links to my other blog posts that involved sticky notes (did I mention that I love them!!)

Such a simple suggestion, but so useful. I can already see it by my classroom door with a box of sticky notes beside it. It's a great thing for the kids to do while they are waiting in line for transitions, too. ~Stacy @ http://new-in-room-202.blogspot.com

I love stickies as well and my students do enjoy using them – especially for note taking. I need to be using exit slips more often, though. Thanks for the reminder Addie!

Thanks for linking up with the Blog by Province Linky….your button looks great! I love your ideas for test prep. We have EQAO here in the late spring and I have been making up some test prep materials myself. Hope you are having a great week and that your weather is better than ours here in ON.

I usually use scrap pieces of paper because I am so cheap. 🙂 But now seeing your colorful board with the exit slips written on sticky notes-well, I'm off to buy some sticky notes!!!!
