B, M, E Sub Tub!

I really needed to get emergency sub plans together.  I generally know when I'm going to be out and have everything meticulously laid out for my sub.  However, last month I ended up with an expected stomach virus, hubby was out of town, and I drove myself to school at 6 a.m. to get plans together for the sub...in my PJ's.  OY.

This was a necessary evil...I had to have emergency plans in place!  However, I didn't want plans that I had to prep every month, or plans that used a ton of color ink and required tons of laminating, or plans that were too hard for a sub to follow.  So, I came up with the idea of a B,M,E Sub Tub...a sub tub you prep once (before school) but that has lessons suitable for the Beginning (August-October), Middle (November- February) and End (March-June) of the year...all in one place!  Hence, the creation of my sub tub!  There are 4 books about dogs that most of us have that should be included in the tub (Martha Speaks, Why a Dog? By A. Cat, Dog Breath, and Bad Dog, Marley!).  I've also suggested a few other dog books you may want to include.  (The Theme of the tub is dogs!).  None of the student pages/activities require color ink or laminating! :)

Then, I've laid out the lesson plans very clearly so that any sub could follow them.  Here are  a few  pics and a little bit better explanation of the tub:

I went ahead and listed this but will be going back and adding the CCSS alignment to the packet in the next few days.  I will also be working on similar tubs for K and 2 also.  I know I am resting easier if an unexpected illness or absence arises...and I hope this will help you feel prepared and not have the need to rush to school...in the dark...in your PJ's.  *wink*
