Bell Ringers and Grade Updates

BELL RINGER UPDATE:

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the bell ringers for the past two class periods. I posted the first bell ringer as an assignment on Friday. I thought it would be fun for you to read the responses. The question was...
 
What is one invention that you wish was never invented and why?
 
Here are ALL of my students responses (not duplicated):
Clocks, Phones, Cigarettes, Motorcycles, Computers, Guns, Gauges (earrings), Drinking Alcohol, Methamphetamines, Fluoride, School Uniforms, Robots, Textbooks, Selfie Stick, Honda and Nissan Trucks, Tesla, Drinking Straws, School, Taxes, Flies, and Pollution
 
I found these answers and their reasons very interesting. I was having a hard time choosing one invention and you all chose so many good ones.
 
Note *If you are absent the bell ringer/ bell ringers must be completed as soon as you return to class.

GRADE UPDATE:

REMINDER!!!! 
Progress reports are sent home each Friday to be signed by a parent and returned. This is a graded assignment. You will receive your first one this Friday. 
 
AS OF RIGHT THIS MINUTE GRADES ARE UP TO DATE! Some bell ringers are left blank (a zero has not been inserted yet) due to leniency with absences and/or a Chromebook not being checked out yet for some students. These will be completed and grades updated by Friday.
 
I hope you all have a great week and I look forward to seeing you all (students) tomorrow!
