It's
coming...you know it is...flu season. UGH!
When
you or your child gets sick in the middle of the night, the last thing you want
to do is sit down at the computer to type sub plans. Even worse, driving to
school in your pajamas at 5:00 am to put out materials for the next day! While
it would be fantastic to always have our lesson plans and materials perfectly
laid out for teaching the next day, the reality is we have meetings after
school and other commitments. We often need our time in the morning before
school, and our planning time, to put finishing touches on our day's plans.
Creating an EMERGENCY SUB PLAN system will give you peace of mind.

a SUB TUB using materials she did not get to in previous weeks. Don't want to
use a tub? How about a binder instead?
Pinterest
and Teachers Pay Teachers are full of FREE resources to start gathering as
well. One of the biggest jackpots I have come across is right HERE. This blog
has an entire day's worth of activities for each grade based on just one
picture book! (except Grade 4 is "Coming Soon", sorry!)
If I
can assist you in gathering meaningful activities to be used in your emergency
sub plans, just let me know! I'd love to hear what other great resources you
and your team have as well. Feel free to leave a comment below!
