For most teachers in the U.S., school has been in session for at least a few weeks and is looking more like the “old normal.” While we all breathe a collective sigh of relief, teachers are noticing the residual effects of the pandemic years on their students. There are the big things, of course, academic slide and social/emotional difficulties. These will take time and patience…and more time. But there are also smaller things that we can work to remediate. Reportedly students are having trouble getting back into learning. The familiar behaviors and routines to start the school day and get ready to learn, which were taught and reinforced since kindergarten, are rusty. Many of our youngest students never even had the opportunity to develop these essential habits. So, I am super excited to present my newest product line—STEM Bell Ringers! Currently, I have STEM Bell Ringers in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store and Jewel’s School Gems STEM Teacher Membership. Right now, I have Autumn or Fall, Back to School, Outer Space, and Construction theme Bell Ringers. Each one of these resources includes five types of STEM Bell Ringers, four of each type:* Quotes* Mazes* Brain Teasers* Creativity Challenges* Building ChallengesEach STEM bell ringer takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. Use these STEM bell ringers to get your students engaged in learning immediately upon entering the classroom. This sets the stage for the day’s learning, provides structure to improve classroom management, and allows you, the teacher, a few minutes to take attendance, get organized, prepare materials, etc. by providing meaningful activities instead of busy work.Click on the links below to check them out!TPT: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/STEM-Bell-Ringers-Warm-Ups-Starters-or-Entrance-Tickets-BUNDL...Jewel’s School Gems Club: www.jewelschoolgemsclub.com/a-simple-guide-to-stem-bell-ringers/ ...
