Lower grade teachers
Can you share your emergency sub plans? The kind for when you don't have time to write sub plans because you TOTALLY didn't expect to be out. Just ideas?

Re: Lower grade teachers
Hi. Im a kindergarten teachers and I have a sub folder that I leave out on my desk. It has a typed schedule to let the sub know when snack, center time, and lunch/ recess is and a class list. I leave some activities in the folder that can be done at anytime...like some alphabet pages, simple math pages, and seasonal activities. I change them every so often so that its not simple September work in the folder and I take a sick day in January. I know that some teachers just rely on their plan book as enough for a sub...that really is what it's for. But, my plan book is never accurate. Im always a day behind or ahead. With the lower grades its hard to always stay on track.

Re: Lower grade teachers
My school requires that we hand in 3 emergency sub plans at the beginning of the school year (they were due 2 weeks ago) that include an entire day's worth of work. This way they have plans in case you are out -- and then you replace them as necessary throughout the school year.

same here. I teach 7th grade, so the easiest thing is just to give textbook work. Usually quarterly I update it so the info isn't too stale, but with the state assessments, it's always good to go back to old stuff. If you give a ditto, you have to worry about it being copied, where the copies end up, do you have enough, etc . . .

Re: Lower grade teachers
I get Weekly Reader for my kids and I never get to all of them so I leave a generic topic edition in case of an unexpected accident. This keeps the class engaged for a while. I also leave some "busy work" review sheets (math, some ELA skill like ABC order). I do centers in my class so they can either follow the workboard or have free choice centers. I also usually just have the sub read a book of their choice aloud and the kids write a reading response.
