Description
This resource includes 175 growth mindset bell ringers, giving you a daily warm-up assignment for the entire school year. With no printing or prep required, students simply respond in a composition book or ELA notebook, making implementation effortless and consistent.
These bell ringers—also known as do nows, warm-ups, or journal prompts—are ideal for middle school and high school classrooms. Designed to encourage reflection and discussion, each prompt helps students build self-awareness while strengthening writing fluency and confidence.
Journaling offers students meaningful benefits beyond academics. Through regular reflection, students practice goal setting, explore their thoughts and emotions, relieve stress, work through anxiety, and develop resilience. Over time, these short daily entries help students better understand themselves while fostering creativity, motivation, and personal growth.
Bell ringers also play an important role in classroom management by establishing routine. Students enter the room, get started immediately, and transition smoothly into learning, allowing teachers time to take attendance and handle daily tasks while students remain focused and engaged.
The prompts cover a wide range of growth mindset and social-emotional learning themes, including mindset and attitude, goal setting, motivation, perseverance, resilience, accountability, habits, success, failure, mistakes, adversity, procrastination, opportunity, grit, and brain plasticity. Together, these topics help students understand how effort, reflection, and mindset influence both academic and personal success.
Perfect for daily routines, advisory periods, SEL integration, or writing warm-ups, this growth mindset bell ringer resource supports students in building habits that last far beyond the classroom.
