The Best Teacher Invention…

I know I’m not the only person to discuss and recommend the wireless doorbell, but this thing is amazing!
In the past I’ve always used the clapping patterns or 1-2-3 eyes on me as a way to get student’s attention. And, while yes that will work it sometimes has to be repeated many times. This past summer I purchased a wireless doorbell to use in my classroom after seeing some teachers on Instagram recommending it. My doorbell has multiple songs and chimes and I chose a simple chime that sounded like the end of intermission at a play. This thing works like a charm! My students hadn’t seen it before so it was a novelty item at first, but it gets their attention! The nice thing is that I can change the sound or song so that it’s always fresh and always a bit of a novelty. (Our classroom Elf even changed the tune to Jingle Bells during the holiday season.)
I use the doorbell as a way to get them to freeze and give me their attention. I sound the doorbell when they need to rotate during math rotations. I use the doorbell as a sign to clean up. This thing works and it’s saved my voice and frustration level. Now there are times when they are a little crazy and I have to ring it a second time, but I do not have to raise my voice! The doorbell does it for me!
Anyways – random little post today, but I’ve been meaning to share my love for this doorbell with you. If you are interested in the one I purchased it was around $15 and I’ll post the link below.
