Bellwork 1- Before the bell rings, you are in your seat working on bellwork, silently. • Get a piece of blue cardstock from the front of the room. • Using the paper and materials in the supply box create a name tent by folding your paper in half, hamburger style, and then fold the edges in one more time (about an inch width) to help it stand. • Write the name you go by on the front of the name tent (big letters for my special eyes to see). I will use these to remember your names • In each corner, draw a picture that represents something about you (favorite number, sport, animal, location, etc.)– make sure you can explain why you drew those pictures. • On the inside of the tent, where we cannot see, write down two truths and one lie about yourself. You have limited time, so get started ASAP!
