First Grade Sub Plans

Whether you need Emergency Sub Plans or Plans for a Planned Day Off, this set of First Grade Sub Plans has everything you need for 5 Days. From Morning Work to Science Class and Early Finishers! Well organized, with a separate, programmable "Letter to Substitute" for every activity.

What's important to teachers that are putting together sub plans? One thing is for sure, it takes time to put great plans together. For me, it is important that the sub be able to easily understand the plans. This makes for a smooth day! It is also important that the kids are doing something that will keep them on task for the time allotted for the subject. Something easy for the sub to understand and explain.

I tried to make this resource fit both of those needs by including a "Dear Substitute" letter for each activity. This letter is programmable for each activity. He or She will know whether to:

• send it home
• pick up the papers
• allow partner work
• check the paper together
• allow class sharing

Laminate these programmable letters and use them over and over.

A Blank "Dear Substitute" letter is also included for additional information.

✳JUST ADDED✳

Now with EDITABLE "Here's the Plan" letter to be used for each subject.

This will allow you to type in your plans instead of writing it out.

I also tried to choose the content for each subject very carefully. I want the students to be able to do the activities by themselves. (Every class is different, so partnering students up is a great option.) I also chose things like addition, subtraction, graphing, phonics they should have been exposed to, and science and social studies that are common sense topics, but make for fantastic classroom discussions.
