Bell Ringers

At the beginning of each day, students will be asked to record the day's bell ringer. This consists of...

  1. the objective we're going to meet, 
  2. a question or quote, 
  3. and the day's events. 

These bell ringers will be graded weekly and compiled in each student's 3-ring binder.

Supply List

I require relatively little of my students when it comes to supplies; however, they will need to bring the following items everyday.  I ask they bring a 2" 3-ring binder with them so they can keep track of all their work, as well as their progress--these will be collected for a grade at the end of each quarter.

  • Writing Utensils (Pen or Pencils)
  • Paper
  • (1) 2" 3-Ring Binder
  • (3) Dividers
  • Planner (Provided by the School)
