Snakes_Half Day Sub Plan

I love these half day sub plan kits!  I keep a couple of sets copied and ready to go in my binder all the time for those days that I just can't make it into school (I've already used 2 of them this year!!!).

There are several sets available on Teacher's Notebook - at $5 each, it's pretty cheap peace of mind for days that writing out extensive sub plans just isn't going to happen.  If you want to check them out, here are the links:
Sloths
Elephants
Ants
Bats

Today only (November 4, 2014), I'll send you the latest set (SNAKES) free if you leave me a comment with your email address.  :)

Each kit contains a foldable mini book, vocabulary sheets, 2 pages of story problems (addition and subtraction) with model drawing examples, 2 pages of number sense work related to the story problems, and writing plan and publishing sheets for a report about the animal.

This half day plan (more than) covers the time that isn't programmed at my school.  We have Tier II reading groups for an hour, and specials for 40 minutes (except for Friday), plus lunch and recess times.  I haven't had a substitute make it all the way through a full set of plans yet.  (Which is totally fine, because then I can use the rest of the material to fill in those extra moments during the day when I'm back).

Today is Kenton Day.  The day we stop at the cemetery to see our boy.  Tuesdays are always a little more tender.  A little sadder.  I appreciate your continued support and prayers, and hope that you have a wonderful day!

Emergency Sub Plans - BATS!!!

Emergency Sub Plans (or last week of school plans!!!).  All about BATS!  My littles have LOVED this set!  So much fun exploring bats, learning new vocabulary, reading, writing, and practicing their math skills! 

Also included is a list of art discovery links!

There are at least 3 hours of instructional material included in this pack!  We spent all week with BATS a couple of weeks ago, just using this material to fill in the gaps between long recesses, activities, parties, assemblies, etc.

You can find this great little set HERE.

[Emergency Sub Plans] [CureSearch]

A giant thanks heading out to those of you that have purchased items from my Teacher's Notebook shop over the past week!

Our family sincerely appreciates your support!

 

Today's item took a LOT longer than I had planned for it to take.

However, the finished product is exactly what I'd hoped!

 

There have been a few times in my career that I've seriously been too ill to go to school to make detailed sub plans.

I've sent e-mails to my colleagues asking them to print off my plans and copies and get everything ready for me.

They willingly ablige, but I feel guilty for the entire day (and most of the next week) knowing that I added stress to their morning.

 

And now, with everything that's going on with Kenton, I've felt for a while that I needed to have something that was sub ready just in case.

 

Introducing my first set of EMERGENCY SUB PLANS!  :)

 

This set is focused around the book My Friend is Sad, and Elephant and Piggie book by
Mo Willems.

 

  Emergency Sub Plans feature activities in math, fact discovery and recording, writing (with a rubric!), spelling, reading comprehension, and PE.

22 pages that you just need to print off, make copies for your class, purchase the book, and BAM! Sub Plans for the day ready to go.

$5.00 at Teacher's Notebook.

On sale at a 25% discount through November 15.

 

My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Steve and Debbie at Teacher's Notebook, who in their own time of need dealing with Superstorm Sandy, generously offered to match all purchases made in my shop with a donation to CureSearch in Kenton's name.

 

THANK YOU for sticking with me and my sporadic postings.

I'd promise to do better, but well, that's just a promise I am not able to make.

I'll be here when I can with new and fun stuff.

Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend!!
