Bell Ringer Every Minute Counts

Teach Bell to Bell

How could you modify this and use it in your classroom?

1. Think (30 sec)

2. Share with a partner sitting next to you.

When will you use a Bell Ringer? 1. At the start of the day (and the start of every period/class).

2. After recess or lunch.

3. After a special class, like PE, music, or library.

Bell ringers can be review or a warm up for the upcoming lesson.

They should not take much time.

Make it a routine/habit.

Read your ring of Engagement Strategies!

Your administrator will be visiting your classroom and looking for you to be using these strategies.
