11. Bellringers!!
Bellringers are opportunities for you to write about the things we are talking about in class, quotes, or current events.
Bellringers will be done every day. When the tardy bell rings you are to begin.
I will not ask you to start…remind you to start...or tell you to start….when the bell rings…you should be started.
Each day you will have 4-5 minutes to complete the bellringer. You must be SILENT during the entire bellringer. Every FRIDAY you will turn in your bellringers from that week.
Your bellringer should be at least 4-5 sentences, and discuss your opinions, beliefs, reactions and other feelings about the topic.

What are you looking forward to most this year?
