I love my desk bell! I purchased it a few years ago from my local teacher store. They go for about $5-$7.00. The bell that I use is exactly like the kind of bell that you would find on a counter at a bakery or dry cleaner.
These bells were created to be attention getters.
I keep my desk bell nearby me whenever we have quiet work times. The bell is very helpful when I am working with my guided reading groups. Whenever I ring the bell 2 times, this means that I want your attention. If I ring the bell 3 times, it means that the classroom is too noisy and not as productive as I would like it to be.
I hope
that you will be able to locate a bell. I would suggest that you contact your local teacher supply store. If one is not available, I'm sure that any of the teacher supply websites will be able to mail you one.
