Sub Binder

Something that can be very stressful, that doesn't have to be, is leaving plans for substitute teachers. I wanted to find a way to make taking a day off easier. I decided that a binder that you only have to set up one time for the whole year would be the easiest.

You can use this binder every time you are going to be absent or you can have it on your shelf in case of an emergency absence and your plans will be ready to go.

I finished a binder that can work for any teacher and is so simple to use. 

The binder has forms that you have to fill out according to your students, classroom and school and they will stay in the binder for the entire year. The forms will have everything the sub needs to know to run your classroom for the day.

By leaving the plans simple (ex: Math sheet at 10am) you can just replace the activities each time and keep the same plans for the entire year.

Look at the pictures below to see how the binder would work in action.

(All information is made up to show how the binder works.)

I have also included enough ELA and math activities for kindergarten to last for at least one day in your binder. You can keep a whole class set of these in your binder and once they are used, replace with a different activity for next time.

Five For Friday!

This week I've decided to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!

We finally opened our pool this week. It is not completely ready yet, but this is a huge step towards summer! Since I was very young I have spend a lot of the summer out by the pool and it is so awesome to have on the hot days! I can't wait until it is all ready to use!!

My Mom started a teaching blog this week! She is an awesome kindergarten teacher and is the person that I learned all that I know about teaching from! She is so excited to start blogging and sharing some fun ideas.. Please check her out! Find her at Fun In K With Mrs. Shea..

Just today I decided to upload a Father's Day Freebie (nothing like waiting until the last minute!). I did one for Mother's Day that was very similar. It has a cute activity and book. You can download it by clicking here.

Here is an example of one of the activities included in the freebie.

One new thing that I found this week is these, Dark Chocolate Pomegranates. I have been loving them so much. I've always seen them at the stores and have wanted to try them but for some reason never have. I have already repurchased more!

As it gets closer, I am getting more and more excited for the TpT conference in Vegas! Is anyone else going? I have never been to Vegas before and can't wait to go and learn from some awesome TpT sellers!
