They need to be constantly redirected and dont get their morning work complete because they are off task. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I like to start each day in the classroom with some soft, instrumental music and dull lighting; creating a quiet and peaceful working environment where students can come in and relax from their busy morning and prepare to learn. The point of bell work is to keep students busy while the teacher and students are getting ready to start the day. If bell work is too distracting, you can have them read, draw, continue working on an assignment, etc. By giving them a choice, they might feel more inclined to participate. You could even have students stretch or follow along with a yoga video. If you are not a fan of this approach, you could also have students interact with a learning video that requires participation such as repeating, following along, dancing, etc.
