Throwback Thursday: BME Sub Tubs!

I love Cara's Throwback Thursday idea.  I'm linking up with her this week to share my sub tub I created last year.  I've had requests for K and 2nd grade sub tubs, and those are in the works and should be finished in the next few weeks.  So here's my post from a few months ago:


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 will also be working on similar tubs for K and 2.  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*

K and 2 are in the works now.  Hoping to have them out in the next few weeks.  I'm really resting easy knowing my emergency sub plans are covered for next year no matter what time of the year they may be needed.  And I don't have to spend a fortune copying, laminating, and using color ink either!
