Simplifying Sub Plans... A FREEBIE

Writing sub plans is something each and every one of us dreads. I'm sure most of us have even miserably forced our way through a day of sickness just to avoid preparing for a sub. This year I created a document that I absolutely love and it has really simplified my sub plans for me. In fact, every time I have a sub they compliment on how easy the plans are to follow. 

The best part about these plans is that they include all of the important information for making the day go as smoothly as possible and it is easy to find rather than needing to skim paragraphs to find that one specific part. Of course all while 30 or so kids are waiting every so patiently (HA). I love that I don't need to retype the information every time and for the most part my schedule stays the same, so I make some slight changes and voila, print my plans. 

I included the plans as a word document and pages document for you so that you can edit them for your classroom. I also included my example for you to help along the way as you create your own! I hope that this is as helpful as I think it is!!

  7. What the heck ladies! I am so sorry.. I am working on fixing this right now. I use Pages instead of Powepoint and Word so things are a little wonky, I guess. I am going to try working on this now and getting a working version up on this post. If you left me your email though I will email you a copy now.
