Ron Clark 55 Essential Rules Inspired Slides | Admin | Instructional Coaching

By Professional Development and Teacher Prep

Are you a passionate educator looking for innovative ways to create a positive, engaging learning environment? Enhance your classroom management and build a culture of respect and academic excellence with The Essential 55 by Ron Clark. This transformative book will revolutionize your approach to classroom behavior and help foster a thriving learning environment.
As a companion to the book—and perhaps the workbook—this resource offers editable Canva slides that can be used with students, parents, and even shared on your school’s social media. It's a powerful tool to extend the impact of The Essential 55 across your entire school community.

How It Works:

  • Focus on one rule each day, following the sequential order of Ron Clark’s 55 rules.
  • Use the slides in various ways: print them to send home to parents weekly, display them in your classroom as a guide, or share them on your school or classroom’s social media page to keep families engaged.
  • You can also project the slides on your smartboard to teach, model, and reinforce each rule in your classroom every week.

Each slide features one of Ron Clark’s essential rules alongside a relevant image, helping to visually reinforce the concept. The slides are fully editable, allowing you to customize them to fit your school’s specific needs. You can even swap out the default images with pictures of your own students demonstrating the rule in action.

This resource is designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it easy to integrate The Essential 55 into your classroom or school culture. Whether you're looking to involve parents, enhance classroom discussions, or share the rules across your school’s social platforms, these slides offer a seamless way to keep the rules front and center.
Make The Essential 55 an integral part of your teaching toolkit and watch as your students rise to the challenge of excellence!

  • 56 pages of editable Canva Templates.

30 Days of STEM | STEAM Silly Building Challenges SET 1

By Teaching Dinos

Kids will LOVE this pack of 30 Days of Silly STEM Building Challenge Task Cards based on silly stories! There is a printable PDF, as well as Google Slides perfect for distance learning and back to school. Pair these problem solving cards with the STEAM / STEM activities and use them in a variety of ways. Use them in Makerspaces, morning tubs or centers, as an activity for early finishers, or rewards for a great day!

**Perfect for classrooms, distance learning, homeschool, and even parents just looking for a fun, adventure filled activity for their children.**

⭐ This is Set #1. You can purchase the Bundle of 90 days, all 3 available sets, for 20% off here: BUNDLE of 90 Days STEAM | STEM Silly Challenge Task Cards Distance Learning

Distance Learning Compatible: This product can be downloaded as a printable PDF or copied into Google Slides. This will allow you to send the product to your students as an editable document. Download as a PowerPoint to upload to Microsoft Teams.

What’s included in the 21 page PDF download, as well as the 38 Google Slides:

PDF

  • 7 pages of 30 unique full color challenge task cards
  • 2 STEAM / STEM worksheets in full color for early and upper elementary
  • Instructions Page
  • Terms of Use
  • Black and white copies of the instructions, task cards, and STEM / STEAM printables

Google Slides

  • 30 Individual Google Slides for each daily challenge
  • 5 STEM / STEAM slides for discussion, with space to type in responses to the questions
  • Instructions
  • Terms of Use

************************************************************

How can you use these task cards?

  • Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using ANY available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them!

  • Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet or discuss and use the Google Slides as a class.

  • Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.

  • Ideally the goal is to do one challenge a day, but you could certainly allow students to do more than one.

**********************************************************

Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?

I love silly stories that bring humor and adventure to life for kids, but also that force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose wacky stories where they are the main character. Silly scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving, and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.

Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.

The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!

**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**

**This is not an editable document.**

You'll see instant engagement as students realize this isn't another boring classroom game.

Simply print the four included labels for each corner of your classroom and project one question at a time. Read it aloud, then students should move to the corner that corresponds with their answer choices. You'll quickly see that students will start opening up as they relax and feel confident to defend their choices.

Back to School ELA Digital Escape Room for Distance Learning

By Language Arts Excellence

If you are looking for a way to start your school year off strong with a rigorous yet engaging activity, look no further than this Back to School Digital Escape Room for ELA for use with Google Drive!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! Now, you can facilitate our popular Back to School Escape Room at home for distance learning or in the classroom using your school's technology (thereby cutting down on paper and valuable prep time) with this meticulously-crafted resource. Each task is skills-based so that with this fun activity, learning is not sacrificed. Distance learning can certainly be a struggle for both students and teachers, so this escape room aims to provide a welcome break from the monotony while encouraging higher order thinking skills and a fun review of ELA material.

How does it work?

Your students must escape your digital classroom by solving 5 different Language Arts skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.

  • Lit Match: In the first task, students must match literary terms with examples from popular books, songs, and animated movies by drawing a line connecting the term with the example. These lines will intersect with letters that once unscrambled, will form their first code word.
  • Book Talk: In the second task, students must identify the part of speech used in quotes about literature by famous figures. When matched correctly, shaded boxes reveal the second code.
  • Word Maze: In the third task, students must solve a word maze. Letters collected along the way form the third code.
  • Figuratively Speaking: In the fourth task, students must identify the figurative language device used in animated movie songs. Designated letters in each answer form the fourth code.
  • Jig Saw Quote: In the fifth and final task, students must assemble a jig saw puzzle that forms an inspirational quote to motivate them to start their year off strong. (We can't give that away here!)

Product Includes:

- Instructions for how to access and share escape room and answer key through Google Drive

- Materials for 5 Tasks: digital task signs, detailed task instructions, and interactive worksheets

- Digital Student Answer Sheet

- Digital Teacher Answer Key

This product requires free accounts through Google Drive and is completely paperless.

Back to School Digital Poetry Escape Room for Distance Learning

By Language Arts Excellence

Whether you are starting school in the classroom or teaching virtually, start your year off strong with the Back to School Poetry Digital Escape Room for use with Google Drive!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! Now, you can facilitate our Back to School Poetry Escape Room at home for distance learning or in the classroom using your school's technology with this meticulously-crafted resource. All tasks are skills-based so that with the escape room, learning is not sacrificed; in fact, your students will come away with a stronger understanding of poetic terms and devices. Distance learning can certainly be a struggle for both students and teachers, so this escape room aims to provide a welcome break from the monotony while encouraging higher order thinking skills and a fun review of poetry.

How does it work?

The ghosts of Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, and Maya Angelou have risen from the grave to lock your students inside your [digital] classroom. They are upset because they believe that students spend too much time making TikToks and not enough time reading and writing poetry. Students cannot escape until they complete 5 poetry-based tasks to show these ghosts of poets past that they do in fact know their poetry.

  • Watch Your Tone: In the first task, students will read 6 poem excerpts and identify their tone. When cards are matched correctly, shaded letters will reveal the code.
  • Rhyme Time: In the second task, students will read 8 poem excerpts and determine the rhyme scheme of each. When cards are matched correctly on a chart, numbers on the cards will reveal the code.
  • Poe's Anatomy: In the third task, students will closely read A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe and complete an anatomy of the poem. When completed correctly, shaded letters within the answers will reveal the code.
  • Ah-Mazing: In the third task, students must solve a challenging word maze. Letters collected along the way form the fourth code.
  • Complete the Quote: The final task brings the first four tasks together. Students must match the code words with their definitions and complete a quote about poetry.

Product Includes:

- Instructions for how to access and share escape room and answer key through Google Drive

- Materials for 5 Tasks: digital task signs, detailed task instructions, and digital worksheets

- Digital Student Answer Booklet

- Digital Teacher Answer Key

This product requires free accounts through Google Drive and is completely paperless.
