What Teachers Are Saying About This Bell-Ringers & Task Cards Assignment:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ In the past my bell ringer has been reading time, but this year the kids were refusing to engage with it, so I needed to find something new and this is fantastic! We spend some time with them working on it, and then we go over it together as a class, and they are engaged the whole time.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can always count on Presto Plans whenever I need a refresh of my bellringers. Her slides look great and she includes student handouts, just in case. These slides with text message "fails" are a fun way to provide proofreading practice for my students. I've used Presto Plan's other grammar bellringers, and this one is a nice change-up.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love how many options and varieties there are to the texts. The students love the text model. We have used these as races on the wall projector side by side in teams, the students get so competitive. This is also really great as a substitute emergency plan.
