TEACHER FEEDBACK ON THESE BELL-RINGERS
♥ I love these so much that I've purchased all 3 Volumes!! I appreciate the time and effort that you put into this resource to make my job easier!! Thank you!!
♥ I LOVE this resource! I have used all the volumes. I have continually received good reviews for classroom management because my students come in and know what to do! So often I am able to make connections to the lessons I'm teaching. The resource allows you to pick and choose and reorder the sections as you see fit.
♥ My students absolutely love these! I've purchased all three volumes of the bell ringers, and my students can't get enough of these. Students feel very comfortable commenting on what they like and do not like. I stopped using the bell ringers for about a week, as I thought they needed a little change. I received numerous requests to bring "the real bell ringers" back. The students have said that they enjoy the stories/information but do find them challenging. Also, they love watching and responding to the videos. The topics often spark great discussions. I've even had parents say that their children really enjoy what we're doing in class and our bell ringers! Fantastic!! These are worth more than the asking price! Thank you! Keep up the fabulous work!
♥ These are perfect for my short-attention span freshmen! They love the range of activities, and we have very interesting class discussions on the journal writing days.
