Bell Ringers Teaching Ideas

How do you handle transition times in your classroom? Transitions can be a difficult time for many students. By having clear and precise routines, students will know their exact expectations.  Many unwanted behaviors occur simply because students haven't been taught what is expected of them.  At the beginning of the year, don't forget to spend a lot of time actually practicing and ACTING out expectations.

 A bell ringer is a tool you may use to help focus students and jump start their thinking!  It allows the teacher time for necessary management tasks.  It also maximizes teaching time by creating structured routines.  Less time redirecting and disciplining means more time teaching and learning!

A fun bell ringer is to use the quote of the day.  Teachers may also want to create a suggestion box for students to share their favorite quotes.  Each day, display a new quote.  Students may draw a picture of the quote, describe what the quote means to them or expand on a situation in which this quote could be helpful or reflective.  Students may also explain if they agree or disagree with the quote. Students may also create their own posters or mini desk posters with their favorite quotes.

We have many posters in our store to help get you started.  Also, don't forget to use some of the quotes students submit in your suggestion box to create higher interest!

 successful classroom transitions


Learners with no, minimal, or limited exposure to formal education generally do not share the expectations and assumptions of their new setting; as a result, they are likely to find themselves confounded by the ways in which the language and content are presented, practiced, and assessed in Western-style educational settings. Institutions and teachers must tailor therefore their instruction to this population. Making the Transition to Classroom Success: Culturally Responsive Teaching for Struggling Language Learners examines how understanding secondary and adult L2 learners’ educational paradigm, rooted deeply in their past experiences and cultural orientations, provides a key to the solution to a lack of progress.

Children will feel more powerful and in control, reducing stress levels during the more difficult times in your day. You will learn songs that everyone will love singing, including:
"Get On Board, Little Children" and "We're On Our Way," which move toe-tapping children in and out of the classroom
"Go to Sleep, My Little Pumpkins," which helps kids wind down for naptime
