Find answers to your questions about these No Prep Sub Plans for 4th & 5th Grade:
✋ What themes do you offer?
I currently offer three “Think Like a” Sub Plan Sets: Think Like a Travel Agent, Think Like a Cartographer, and Think Like a Biologist. These sets are ideal for 4th and 5th grade students. If using in a general education classroom, one set of plans may cover two days of instruction. With my gifted 4th-grade students, one set typically spanned 1 to 1.5 days of class time. When I had to be out for an entire week, my students loved learning with these engaging activities.
✋ How do you like to organize substitute plans?
I copy substitute plans and leave them in a filing cabinet with a label. I always sort them by day of the week. Then, I keep information about our daily routine and students' schedules in a binder at the front of this filing cabinet. Finally, I show a teammate where to find my ready-to-go materials in case I have to call in sick. They simply pull out the folder with that day of the week and the sub is ready to go!
✋ What parts of this file are digital?
If you don’t want to copy every page, some of the pages are included in TPT Easel. You must purchase on TPT if you wish to use TPT Easel. You can assign work easily by sharing a link with students. This can definitely save you time if you weren’t planning on being out of your classroom.
