4. Exit Slip  There is an index card in the container on your table. There are also 3 different colored sticky dots in the container: red, yellow, and green. I want you to place the appropriate sticky dot on the index card according to how you feel. Red means you really don’t understand. Yellow means you sort of understand but need just a little more guidance. Green means you are ready to learn the next thing. Please put the color of sticky dot you truly feel you are at, not what you think you should put. Leave the index cards on the table.
