6th Grade Classroom Management Lesson

Introducing the ultimate classroom management and engagement toolkit for middle school teachers of all subjects: "Classroom Synergy: Building Expectations and SEL Skills." This comprehensive package is expertly crafted to align with the start of the new year, seamlessly integrating across curriculums and focusing on key areas of student development such as social-emotional learning (SEL), writing, collaboration, and public speaking.

Product Description:

1. Classroom Expectations - PDF Handout and Google Slides: Kick off your classroom management with our detailed PDF handout and interactive Google Slides presentation, outlining 16 essential classroom expectations. This resource is designed to clarify what each expectation looks like and sounds like in a middle school setting, creating a solid foundation for a positive learning environment in any subject.

2. Expectations Role Play: Dive into dynamic, hands-on learning with our Expectations Role Play activity. Students actively engage in performing skits that depict various classroom scenarios, fostering an understanding of expectations through practical application. This activity not only reinforces classroom norms but also enhances students' public speaking and critical thinking skills.

3. Creating Expectations Posters: Unleash your students' creativity while reinforcing classroom rules with our poster-making activity. Students collaborate to design and create posters for each expectation, blending artistry with learning. These visual aids serve as constant, colorful reminders of the classroom culture you're building together.

4. Expectations and SEL Writing Prompts: Deepen your students' reflection and introspection with SEL-aligned writing prompts. These thought-provoking prompts encourage students to connect classroom expectations with their emotional and social growth, fostering maturity and self-awareness.

Perfect for the New Year: "Classroom Synergy" is an ideal resource to reset or establish your classroom culture at the beginning of the year. It sets a tone of respect, cooperation, and positivity.

Cross-Curricular and SEL Integrated: Our toolkit is designed to fit seamlessly into any subject area while prioritizing the development of crucial SEL skills. It encourages students to work together, express themselves, and become active, empathetic participants in their learning journey.

Versatile and Easy to Use: With activities catering to various learning styles and needs, "Classroom Synergy" is user-friendly and adaptable, ensuring that every middle school teacher can implement it with ease.

Need an awesome Movement Activity? I have just the thing for you! This creative Conscious Discipline “Breathing Pose” resource was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. It is best to use one of these images per day or per week, so these resources can last a while. Focus on the specific animal shown and discuss where this animal would be and how it would breathe and pose to gain focus. Make sure you demonstrate the pose with your class. Ask a student to help demonstrate this pose, and the sillier you are, yet focused, the more the students will want to participate with you in each of these fun and motivating animal breathing poses. This is a great SEL strategy! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

MANAGING MY VOICE LEVELS - GETTING MY LEARNERS

Learning to adjust volume to different environments and situations is a complex social skill. Children need to consider not only the social situation but also use empathy to consider how their voice volume affects others. This then requires impulse control for children to regulate their own behaviour and emotions.

This comprehensive workbook provides posters, social narrative, multiple worksheets, activities and games. There is a bit of everything to cater for everyone! Based on an analogy of car speeds, this workbook explores the different voice volume levels that are appropriate for different social settings and environments.

This workbook includes the following:
