Spanish Long Term Sub Plans, 4 Weeks, A1 Review, Spanish 1, Any Grade, 20 Days of No Prep Sub Plans for Spanish Class, 256 Pages

Four binders on your desk, and a month of Spanish class is covered. I made these long term sub plans for Spanish 1 to cover a 4 week absence: four complete binders of Spanish sub plans for level A1, 20 days of review with one set a day for every class, in middle school or high school. Week 1 reviews greetings, numbers and time, weather, family, school routines and food. Week 2 covers home, town and directions, clothes and shopping, sports and weekend plans, and health. Week 3 brings animals, nature, travel, holidays and jobs, and Week 4 countries and cities, chores, music and movies, phones and free time, and friends, with a big review on the last day. Every day has a Spanish worksheet set with word banks, a calm vocabulary block, a team task, an optional Spanish review game and answer keys. Every instruction is in English, so the sub needs no Spanish. No tech needed. No prep: print and go for a long-term sub, a medical or family leave, or any absence of about a month. I built the sets to review the core A1 grammar of Spanish 1, so the four weeks also make perfect test prep for an A1 exam or a Spanish 1 final.

Perfect For

• Four weeks out: surgery or medical leave, a family leave, a long illness
• A long-term sub who does not know your subject or your class
• Spanish teachers with several classes at the same level: one set covers every class that day
• A vacancy or a late hire, when the class needs a month of solid review
• Review weeks before a test or after a break, when nothing new should be taught
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it

How It Works

1. Print the four binders and leave them on your desk. Week 1 covers days 1 to 5, Week 2 days 6 to 10, Week 3 days 11 to 15 and Week 4 days 16 to 20. Each binder has its own week plan on page 4, already filled in with page numbers and minutes for every set.
2. Monday’s set runs in every period you teach on Monday, Tuesday’s set on Tuesday, and so on. The calm vocabulary block fits any gap, the team task fills a block period, and the game is optional fun for the last 15 minutes.
3. Every set stands alone, so each plan is only a sample order: swap sets between days, or use one with another class when it fits. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews, so you can match it to what your class has covered.
4. Instructions are in English and every answer is in the key, so the sub needs no Spanish.
5. Prefer your own order? Each binder includes a blank weekly schedule.
