🌟 Prices reduced for SUMMER 2026 only! 🌟
Most sub plans are made by teachers, for teachers. These were designed by someone who has been both... a teacher who knows what makes a lesson actually work, and a sub who knows what it feels like to walk into someone else's classroom and figure it out on the fly. Who has been left plans that weren't enough, and knows exactly what keeps a sub wanting to come back to YOUR room. That's why teachers tell us these feel different... and why so many who tried other sub plans first say they never go back.
📋 6 reasons these 5th grade substitute plans are different
✅ No busywork. Every activity is standards-aligned and actually teaches something... not just something to keep kids quiet.
✅ Real lesson plans... written for subs, not just teachers. Your sub gets clear, step-by-step plans they can look over in five minutes and feel completely ready. No teaching experience required to run these well.
✅ Simple enough for any sub to run. Clear directions, organized materials, no classroom knowledge required.
✅ Enough for a week or more. Five complete sets, and most teachers tell us each one covers well more than one full day... you’re really getting 10+ days of coverage.
✅ Print AND digital. Google Slides version included with text boxes and moveable pieces, ready to assign... use whatever works in your classroom with no prep either way.
✅ Bonus activities in every set so your sub never runs out of things to do... brain breaks, art, games, and more built right in... plus sub tub organization templates so everything is prepped and ready to grab.
📄 What's included across all 5 sets
Lesson plans and student pages for all core subjects in both printable AND Google Slides formats. Each lesson plan includes a notes section at the bottom for you to add classroom-specific details, or for your sub to leave you notes about how it went. Lessons include:

📋 Want your entire day handled… not just the lessons?
These sub plans take care of what your students will do...
But if you want your sub to also know exactly how your classroom runs... your routines, procedures, expectations, and all the little things you normally have to explain... that’s where your sub binder comes in.
➡️ Complete Short + Long-Term Sub Binder Bundle
Most teachers end up using both together... because that’s when you can truly step away without worrying about what’s happening back in your classroom.
💕 A note from Kelsey
I made these because I know how hard it is to step away from your classroom, even when you need to. Having plans your sub can actually follow — without needing you there to explain everything — is one less thing your teacher brain has to carry... and that matters.
