Classroom Ideas for Middle School

Keep students busy with symmetry drawing. Check out my symmetry drawing bundle that has over 200 different designs on grid paper and plain paper to help and challenge students with their drawing. I like having these symmetry drawing sheets because they fit different holidays and seasons and it’s an engaging way to teach about art and math. The symmetry drawing sheets are great to keep students busy when they finish their work early.

Back to School Colouring Pages 

I have different back to school colouring pages for grades 1-6. Each grade has 35 colouring pages that include a back to school theme, growth mindset theme and some bonus pages for the end of the year. My students love these!

Agreement to All 

I like making an agreement where my students come up with our class rules and procedures. We all sign the agreement and when they misbehave we can go over the agreement. There is a level of ownership for the students because they came up with most of the rules and the wording themselves. 

Spend time outdoors

Middle school students can be addicted to technology. It’s important to get them outside to explore and let their energy out. It is a great way to bond as a class, do outdoor learning and have fun!

Growth Mindset Posters

Growth mindset is something I continue to refer to throughout the school year. It’s nice to have growth mindset posters hanging because it reminds students to check their language and the words they are using and try to use better options and change to positive thinking.
