For the day you are out

Emergency Sub Plans

A sub plan here is one school day of review for one grade, ready to print. Every block of the day has a worksheet for the whole class and a short script that tells the guest teacher what to say, how to start, and what to do when a child is stuck. The blocks are seat work that fits around recess, lunch, and specials; the guest teacher pages list what to do in between. Each grade has plans for the start, the middle, and the end of the year, with two different days for each, so the work should be something your class has already learned.
