Exit Ticket Comments
7/23/2012

2. • How advanced will our
work get?
• I hope we get to
trigonometric ratios.
Does that mean anything
to you?

3. • I worry I might fail.
• If you get close, I’ll do my
best to keep you above the
line. You have to do your
part by doing what I ask and
trying your best.

4. • Do you have your
name tent in front of
you yet?

5. • I’m going to hate waking
up early.
• Yes, getting back into the
routine is going to be
hard. I get up at 6:00am.
When do you get up?

6. • Class looks blank.
• I don’t have a lot of stuff on
the walls. In one class, a
student complained that the
bird was a distraction. Some
people can’t handle a lot of
stuff around them.

7. • Have you turned in your
Integer Review to the
mail slot over there?
• Hint: Find the Turning In
column and your period

8. • What was your favorite
subject in school?
• I really enjoyed both math and
English. I despised (super
super hated) physical
education. (Maybe that’s why
I’ve gained weight.) Hmmm.

9. • I like your blue flamingo.
• It’s actually my 20 year old
son’s. I stole it from him
when he moved away.

10. • ACK! There’s a quiz?
YES, there’s a quiz!
• Take this time to
prepare – ask
questions!

11. • What will we learn this year?
• Algebra, silly! No, you’ll learn
how to think and how to solve
problems. You’ll become more
confident in your ability to
figure out the world around
you.

12. • Favorite movie: 21
Jumpstreet. I like
Algebra.
• I didn’t see that movie. I
watched the TV show
decades ago…

13. • Class needs more color.
• What do you suggest?

14. • After the quiz, you will
be taking notes (I’ve
done most of the work
for you – this time.)

15. • Do you have a clock?
• Yes, it’s on the back wall,
between station 2 and 3.

16. • I scared to get lost in this
big freaking castle.
• Just be out before they
chain the doors! O.o

17. • Need more posters on the
walls.
• You’re supposed to be
looking at your paper or the
white board! Don’t make me
get my whip out!

18. • How can you find
out what our agenda
is for today?
• Hint: it’s over there

19. • How much homework will we
have?
• You’re going to hate this
answer… Homework is
practice for improving skills. I
only give it for that purpose –
not busy work. So, it depends
on your skills!

20. • This class seems easy.
• I hope you keep feeling
that way.

21. • Did you bring
supplies? THANK
YOU! Put them on
the appropriate shelf
by the back door.
