Ugh... The dreaded substitute planning has snuck up on me for the first time this year! How many of you HATE planning for a substitute? Who would rather come in sick... sick as a dog? How many of you have pulled off teaching with no voice, absolutely NO VOICE! I bet many of you have b/c we all know...
IT'S EASIER TO GO TO WORK SICK THAN IT IS TO PLAN FOR A SUBSTITUTE!
Now, what's that on my desk? Hour and Hours and HOURS of substitute planning! Ahhh!
Now, I can't complain that much... I'm lucky, VERY lucky! A lot of times there are two retired 2nd grade teachers (I am 2nd grade) who will come in to sub only for 2nd grade. So, that means, I have a good chance that I will get one of them AND my day will go on as normal. Such a good feeling!! Unfortunately though, my sub plans don't get done with a snap of a finger :(.
Before anybody wishes me back to good health, I am not sick! lol. I have a training day for iPads tomorrow that I'm actually pretty excited about! I will get to learn more about how to get kids using iPads during math class. Hopefully I will learn some fun ideas to share!
Until then, I wish you good health in the months to come b/c like you, it's no fun planning for a substitute teacher... no matter how good they are! :)
Until next time!,
Once I started using a sub tub, planning became a lot less excruciating! If you are interested in how I set mine up, you can check out the post I wrote about it! :)
