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.

  1. Hi Megan,

    I happened to chance upon your blog and found it very interesting!

    We have recently launched a science app that uses augmented reality to enhance classroom teaching. The app has 3D models for kindergarten to grade 12. I thought you might want to check it out and may be review it on your blog, if possible.

    It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you with a free copy.

    The link to the app is:

    android:

    You can also search for the app on the app store as 'Augmenter'.

    Do let me know if you would be interested. I am really Looking forward to your response.

    happy teaching!
