Hey everyone,

Its been encouraging to hear of everyone's success these past few days. I'm
three weeks in and I feel like I've exhausted all my ideas. Rats!

I'm trying to maximize my instruction time and want kids to get working by
themselves right when the bell rings. In a traditional class I would have
them sit at their desks and do a short writing answering questions i've
written on the board. Doing OWL in my class we always start off with no
chairs and we do writing activities towards the end of a class when we get
all the chairs out to sit.

Does anyone have any good ideas for bell ringers that don't involve
writing? Or maybe I need to rethink the order of operation in my class. Any
ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated?

Cheers,

Drew
