What is in the file

A free set of daily agenda slides for a middle school room, the agenda, a do now, the week at a glance, announcements, and three countdown timers that really count down. Fill it in once, then only change the date.

What you get

  • 17 editable slides
  • Two themes, Composition Notebook and Farmhouse Shiplap, with the same 4 slides in each
  • A daily agenda with a numbered class routine, the learning target, materials and homework
  • A do now slide big enough to read from the back row
  • A weekly agenda across Monday to Friday
  • An announcements slide for reminders, what is coming up, shout-outs and missing work
  • Three countdown timers, one, two and three minutes, with a menu you tap to open them
  • A menu that jumps straight to either theme

If you want more of it

  • There is a full version with six themes, an exit ticket, a "were you absent?" slide and five timers up to ten minutes. This free set is the same engine and the same slides, just fewer of them, nothing here is a locked preview.

How the timers work

  • Open the timer menu and tap a length. The bar is built from blocks, and one block leaves every time a slice of the time is up, so the room can see the time going without a ticking clock.
  • There are 3 of them: 1, 2, 3 minutes.
  • The countdown only runs in Slide Show mode, and closing the file without saving puts every block back, so the same timer works again tomorrow.

Before you buy, one honest note about Google Slides

  • This is a PowerPoint file. Upload it to Google Slides and every word and color is still editable there, but the countdown is PowerPoint animation and Google Slides will not run it. The timer slides still work in Google Slides as plain "you have five minutes" slides; the blocks just do not disappear on their own.
  • Everything else, the agenda, the menu buttons, the themes, works in both.

Make it yours

  • The example text is there to be typed over. Click any dashed box and start typing; nothing in the file is a picture of text.
  • Most teachers fill in the parts that never change once in August, the class name, the absent-work policy, the materials, and then only touch the date and the agenda each day.
  • Duplicate a slide for each day of the week and you have the whole week in one file.
  • Recolour anything. Every bar, chip and card is a real shape, so a theme can become your own colors in a minute. The themes as they ship are Composition Notebook, Farmhouse Shiplap.
