Hi,
I'm an English teacher. When the class begins, I do the roll call. How should I phrase it?

1. "I'll call the roll now."
2. "I'll do the roll call now."
3. "I'll have the roll call now."
4. "I'll roll call now."

Are the above all good? If not, please tell me what's the best way to say it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, CP. But could you explain why No. 3 and No. 4 are not fine?
