INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE :
WEEKLY STUDENT SLIDES
Each of the 40 weeks has a link that includes a Google Slides file with each of the slides organized by day as well as a weekly student slide. Share the weekly slide link on Monday, and students use it to complete the bell ringers for that week!
MONDAY: GRAMMAR OF THE WEEK
Start the week off by introducing an interesting paragraph and having students edit grammar, spelling, and punctuation directly on their device!

TUESDAY: BRAINSTORM OF THE WEEK
Use the next day to improve your students' idea development, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills with some friendly competition!
Start your day by having students complete the brainstorm of the week by coming up with words that relate to an interesting topic for 3 minutes.
You can use this independently or make this a friendly competition between groups! Have students volunteer to share their answers. If another group has the same answer, all the groups have to cross it out. Give one point for answers that no other team has! This will encourage your students to think outside the box and come up with more creative answers!
You will be so surprised by how creative your students get after doing this activity for a few weeks. They will push themselves to start to think of answers that no one else will think of, so they can't get more points for their team!
