Bell Ringer

1. Take out your planner and open it to today’s date. Before the bell

rings is the time to sharpen pencils. (This is the last week with this

written reminder. This is a daily expectation.)

2. Turn in supplies to the bins and any assignments to the class inbox.

3. If you didn’t finish the Achieve 3000 Level Set last class, get your

assigned computer. (The clipboard on top of the cart is available for

your reference.) Login and begin working on the Level Set. You must

answer the questions using nothing but your own knowledge.

4. Two students not taking the Level Set need to get the comp. books

and gently place them on your classmates’ desks.

5. Students who have finished the Level Set, answer the bell ringer on

the piece of paper you were given as you came into class, then sit

quietly and wait for further directions.
