Over the next three blog posts, we’re going to talk about Sub Plans: Ready-to-Use Sub Plans, Emergency Sub Tubs for secondary, and Youtube Playlist Sub Plans.  Spring is full of state testing, field trips, performances, and alternate schedules.  Which means the need for Sub Plans! For nine of my years in the classroom, I taught in two different buildings, which sometimes meant writing sub plans for one building so that I could teach at the other.  Talk about frustrating!  Here are some of the Sub Plans that I’ve already created for you and are ready to go!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a set of substitute plans ready to go that already included an instructional video, student packet, Google Form, and a Teacher's Guide/Letter to the Substitute?

This "Plug and Play" animated video showcases Mrs. S at "Choir University" as she leads the students through:

• 3 Warm-ups

• Rhythm Practice

• Solfege/Sightreading

• Music Theory Review (Treble Clef Lines and Spaces)

• Movement and Singing Activity

• Game

This resource contains a Sub Plan Letter template, Teacher's Guide, and six Student Google Forms. This sub plan is ideal for 1:1 classrooms. Simply leave the Sub Letter and the link for the Student Google Form!
