What educators are saying

This was by far a favorite activity in my class this year! The prompts were very engaging, the quality of writing has increased this year!
I used this as a bellringer for my classes last year. We kept what I called a bellringer journal. Students did well with this and were interested in the prompts.

Description

This EDITABLE bell ringer journal is for the entire school year including 275 journal prompts for 4TH, 5TH AND 6TH grade students. Looking for back to school activities? This bell ringer journal helps create and establish routine while also strengthening skills!

This product provides teachers with an entire school year of journal prompts in an organized and focused way. The journal is organized by month with 25 entries per section. Students will strengthen their writing and critical thinking skills with these unique, higher level thinking bell ringers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have used this in the Classroom as a morning writing activity. The questions really get the students engaged at a 4th and 5th grade level, in my experience. Thank you so much for providing such a state of the art journal activity." -Julian M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have used this resource both in distance learning and in person learning. This is a great way for my students to start their day. This is part of their morning work as it is low stakes and easily adaptable. When showing parents this, they also wanted a copy to complete for themselves." -Dahlia M.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I like the variety of prompts students can work on throughout the week. This gives each student a chance to work on what they like best, but also stretch themselves into other types of writing." -Cynthia B.
