In the past, I've gotten compliments from substitute teachers on my sub plans and information. What a great feeling of relief! It is so hard to leave my kiddos behind. I feel like the more informed your sub is, the more likely they will finished the lesson plans you share with them.
Here's What's Inside:
- Schedule
- Students with notes about each one (behavior, if they're a helper, if they will need academic support, etc.)
- Lesson plans for the day
- General lesson plans for emergencies
- Attendance form to be turned into the office
- Worksheets that go with our themes and objectives (*sigh* I know, I don't like worksheets either!)
- A place for a substitute to leave notes on how my second graders behaved
- Extension activities for fast finishers
- Sponge activities if things get finished early
- Attention signal
- Information on individual and classroom rewards
Whew! I think I listed it all! This is organized, of course! I forgot how long it took to plan for someone else to teach your kiddos! Luckily, I know my sub and know she'll do an amazing job!
When I dropped off today's sub plans, I found this sweet little note from a very smart kiddo:
Definitely made me feel better! I'm hoping the body protectors come soon to defeat this flu bug!
How do you prepare for a substitute teacher??
Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Get lots of rest this weekend, and I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteMy emergency & general sub plans are on a flash drive, located in my teacher toolbox. The iPads make sub planning easy, I can email students all that they need, or upload it to Edmodo. Usually if they have a question they will email me. The iPads have really made sub planning a lot easier. .
Thank you! It was great to have a day of rest!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that iPads can become a permanent addition to our classrooms vs. a roaming cart of iPads.
Sub plans are such a pain! Especially the first one. Hope you have made a full recovery.Laurie
