What do you find to be the best Bell Ringers? I like having something consistent for Middle Schoolers but I wonder if questions right when they come in will lose them. What will motivate them best?

I have a little variety in my bell ringers but have them consistently every day. It is either questions over past content, vocabulary, or on Friday we do a journal type question .

I start every day with 20 minutes of sustained silent reading. Students get to choose their books for the entire year but have to hit on nine different genres.

I confer with my readers everyday during that time! Check in with them, let them tell about their books, and help them pick out new ones if they need it

So in my class the students each have a folder—sorted out by classes .. in the folder are monthly bell ringers. I use old NYS test questions —that align to what is being taught. The questions are varied— as in short answer responses and/or multiple choice questions. It only takes about 2 min to complete and then a few min after to go over. At the end of each month I quickly grade for participation. For me this works.

I teach science and we do 1 or 2 vocabulary words in a four square every day. It’s very consistent and helps me pre-teach the vocabulary!

I consistently use a Problem of the Day, POD. When students enter they write down the problem in their notebook and answer it. This POD gives me either diagnostic, any precious knowledge, or formative (did they learn) data that I use to proceed with my lesson. While students are completing their POD, I’m doing the regular housekeeping. I then check and track their answers.
