It is that time of year. Ugh. In my first 5 years of teaching, I took 2 sick days total. Now I have an 11-month- old daughter and I have had to take 4 sick days this school year already (3 this week alone).

How do you handle subs? I started a "sub tub" when I was a first year teacher but never finished it. I'll be working on it this weekend! I will go crazy if I have to take another day to be home and have to make a 6am run to my classroom to print out plans or lay out paper!

Any favorite sub lessons for Preschool-8th grade? One day this week I had my kids work on the in-progress projects they started with me last week, but the other 2 days I pulled out some of my tried and true "sub lessons." Too many times I have left my real plans and the sub didn't follow directions, leaving a lot of wasted supplies, confused kids, and extra work for me to clean up the mess when I returned.

Sh I do agree with the yucky germs! haha. SO gross! However - I also agree that it's no more germy than the pencils and markers and paintbrushes that all 500 kids share from year to year. Kindergarten classes have buckets of playdough that they use over and over again in their classrooms. I guess I see it as no different. Just make sure YOU wash your ...See More

Beth Special Needs I am not an art teacher, but would this work? Ask the sub to read The Dot by Peter Reynolds.- yes even to those big ol' eighth graders and then give each kid a paper on which you have already placed a dot of color. Their job is to turn it into something lovely. For the little kids you can use that really thin cheap paper and let them be really prol...See More
