Sadly I've been out of school for one whole week sick, in and out of doctors' offices and hospitals. I truly love my job and my sweets. It is simply killing me not to be teaching them! I have been reading a ton on teaching methods, strategies, etc. and just want to go and use it all. Next week is Spring Break!! (of course all plans for day trips and the like are cancelled because I'm sick :(.
I have been making labels like crazy for everything in my classroom. I have also really pondered the whole sub system. I am not entirely certain how emergency sub plans work. Are they super generic? Detailed? For every subject? I would love to read how you all organize and handle the whole sub situation.
I've also have been creating things for my class because I just can't wait to get back into school.

Journey of a Substitute Teacher
As a sub, I've had days with no plans and days with super detailed plans.
Subs love having plans :) I don't think that they have to be super detailed.
Journey of a Substitute Teacher
Check out Sub Hub! She has great free sub plans for each grade that are somewhat independent of the curriculum.
Subs here love a seating chart, but that doesn't always happen for me. I basically just Post-It and paper clip everything in a box on my desk. I always leave detailed plans, but I try to make them easy to read at a glance. I try to leave more than I think they'll need, too, just because I'd rather have them not finish than run out of stuff to do (because some subs are amazing at filling time, and others are LOST). A lot of people have a "Sub Tub."
I think the things people forget to leave in sub plans are things like "how to get the students' attention," "how to take attendance," "how to call the office with questions." The simplest things!
I also have a marble jar, basically, and they get a huge amount of extra marbles for good behavior with a sub. Like, 1 is a normal compliment- 5 is a great day with the sub. Plus, the clip chart stays as it is until the next day, which helps with accountability.
Oh, and FEEL BETTER!
