Ready to use substitute lesson plans for a complete school day! Everything is written for you! The activities are enganging and hands on. All you need to do is program (this is an electronic copy so go ahead and type before printing) the class schedule, the class procedures sheet and the content lesson time periods for your specific classroom so the sub knows when to do what. Then place the plans and a class roster in a folder on your desk. That's it! You can keep the plans on your desk for an emergency situation or use them for a scheduled absence. The only materials you need to make sure the sub and students have access to are everyday desk/tub items such as pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, writing paper, construction paper and a white board or chalkboard. You can pick and choose which lessons to include in your substitute folder for the day. This first grade level kit contains: The programmable information sheets, programmable class schedule, 45-60 minute reading lesson (fairy tale read aloud, phonemic awareness/phonics, story retell), 45-60 minute math lesson (creating/solving number stories), 30-45 minute writing lesson (class story), 30 minute spelling lesson (spelling game), 30 minute science lesson (sound hunt), 30 minute social studies lesson (classroom map), 30 minute art lesson (warm/cool colors), and 30 minute extension lesson (day review). The lessons are designed to be presented in a way consistent to the standard cycle of instruction. So, treat yourself and enjoy your day off! As teachers we all know the truth. It is honestly easier to go ahead and drag yourself into school when sick or cancel the long over due appointment than it is to plan for a substitute during an emergency or planned absent. As a teacher, you have an enormous amount work to do and content to cover. In addition, those of you working as subs, have the daunting responsibility of reporting into a brand new job each day without specific classroom information. These lesson plans were written for regular primary/elementary classrooms and substitute teachers. First Grade Day 2, Kindergarten, second grade, third grade and K-3 Spanish substitute lesson plans are also available on TpT.

As a former staff developer I was apprehensive about the quality of these online plans. However I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the plans. They saved me a number of hours writing sub plans and the sub will easily be able to follow your notes. Thanks!

Great resource. Thank you!
September 21, 2011
Not exactly what I thought...but very useful.
September 20, 2011
Such a great help and I love that there isn't a bunch of copies that I have to make as filler. I have been raving about your plans. Thank you for the help!
September 19, 2011
Was exactly what I needed and saved me so much time! Instead of writing plans, I was able to enjoy a day at the park with my family, thank you!
September 7, 2011
Fabulous plans! I love that they require minimal supplies and they really could be done at any point in the first grade year. You are such a sanity saver!
September 6, 2011
These are going to be so helpful! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the excellent plans!!!!

This was so good, I even used it for second grade too!

I am so excited to have these ready made lesson plans. Our principal requires 5 days of lesson plans at all times. When one is used, it must be replaced with a new one. I didn't use all five last year. However, this year I know that I will be having some minor surgery requiring a hospital stay. These plans have lifted a great weight from my shoulders. Thank you! Do you have any more 1st grade sub plans.

Excellent plans! These are easy to leave for a sub with very few materials to prepare in advance. I want more!!!
July 10, 2009
I was impressed with the thoroughness... perfect for emergencies. Please give us more first grade plans!
November 10, 2008
A huge help!
November 7, 2008
I was so impressed with the lesson plans! I felt the price was more than fair, especially when you take into account the amount of time it takes to plan! I'm looking forward to additional 1st grade lesson plans from you!
September 19, 2008
What a blessing! The first time I had to unexpectedly be absent from school, I didn't experience that sick "Oh no" feeling because I had already set up my first grade substitute lesson plan from this kit and I had no worries at all. I also had excellent feedback from the substitute who used my substitute plan.
September 8, 2007
What a wonderful resource! Do you have kits for additional days?
August 30, 2007
I'm working on creating additional days and some 3rd-5th grade kits as well. Check back! :)

Help
Hi, I'm just staring out as a substitute for grades K-5 and I'm in need on many lesson plans. How does this system work. Once I pay I do I will I get an email with all the lesson or a PDF format? I'm a first time user getting on to this through google after trying to get some lesson plans. Can you please fill me in. Thanks so much.

Hi,
I was hoping you could help me with a refund on this item. I thought it was a new version when I purchased it and didn't notice the "You Own It!" bar. You know how it is, over worked teacher with too little sleep, I just wasn't paying attention. I would appreciate if I could be refunded for the cost since I don't need two of the same items.
Thank you,
Darren Redstone

Hello Darren - I don't know how to do refunds. It looks like you have to contact Paul E directly. Which day did you need instead of day 1? Shannon
November 14, 2011
Good morning, I have just purchased First Grade Elementary Substitute, Emergency Lesson Plans, Compl Day 1 for $5.00. I see that it says "YOU OWN IT", but I am embarassed to say that I am not sure where to find it! There is a icon that says "Download preview" but this does not show all of the pages (I hope). Can you tell me, please, where I can locate and use my new purchase.
Thank you,
