Print-and-go sub plans for grades K-5 for when you need plans FAST. There are 3 independent work packets that can be done with just a pencil and crayons. Works with non-musical subs! I created these so that every grade level has something that will take 45 minutes and can be done in their homerooms if I didn't get a sub--an unfortunate reality these days! Get the Sub Plan Bundle for 20% off through 9/5/25! 3 days of plans for $9.40!Here is what's included: Grades 4 & 5: Aaron Copland biography

Sub plans for non-musical subs that will last 3 or more class periods! Each of these sub plans can be completed in any classroom setting (even students' homerooms), and need minimum materials (pencil, crayons, and one optional cut/paste sheet). Answer keys are included to help the sub. Each of the three packets is divided into grade bands of 4th/5th, 2nd/3rd, and K/1st. You could easily use packets for different grade levels than what I have listed (e.g., use the 2nd/3rd packet for 1st grade).

Set #2 of print-and-go sub plans for grades K-5! There are 3 independent work packets that can be done with just a pencil and crayons.

Six work packets--one for each grade! Over 100 student pages. Note: The kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade packets are 20 pages while the others are 15-17. This is because some of the Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade pages are quick to complete since students are not always independent readers in those grades. I included more pages to make up for the faster completion. 5th Grade PacketMusical terms crosswordGrade the rhythm level 1 & 2Secret message level 1 & 2Musical diagrammingSolfege matchingMu
