Week Long Sub Plans for 5th Grade, Emergency Sub Plans for Every Subject, No Prep, 5 Days, 131 Pages

Out for a week? Every subject for your 5th grade class is planned. These 5th grade sub plans work as 5th grade emergency sub plans, long term sub plans or a ready sub binder, with math, reading, writing, science and social studies for every day of the week. Every day is no prep sub work with 5th grade math sub plans, 5th grade science sub plans, reading passages and writing prompts, plus team tasks, optional review games, calm puzzles and answer keys for the substitute teacher. No tech needed. Print and go for a planned absence, a sub tub, a substitute teacher binder, or emergency lesson plans on a sick day.

Perfect For

• A full week out: sick leave, a conference, jury duty, a family emergency
• A sub who does not know your subject or your class
• Your sub tub or emergency sub folder, ready before you need it
• Long term subs who need a first week that runs itself

How It Works

1. Print the binder and leave it on your desk. The week plan on page 4 is already filled in, with page numbers and minutes for every set.
2. The sub runs the day’s sets from the plan, with a calm puzzle, a team task and an optional game fitting in around them.
3. Every set stands alone, so the plan is only a sample order: swap sets between slots and days, or use one with another class when it fits. Each set opens with a line that says what it reviews.
4. Every answer is in the key, so the sub needs no subject knowledge.
5. Prefer your own order? A blank weekly schedule is included.
