Actually, they are all lessons I have taught in the past but no longer teach for whatever reason. All the print/materials is in a folder with each units name on the top and they are all in a drawer labeled "sub." If I have to be out in an emergency, I have a few teacher friends that I can text in the morning, and they pull out my emergency lesson for the day. I know that probably wouldn't work for a self contained room, but it was a game changer for me :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368440083007386093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745494024756263152.post-79980554181496021652015-12-11T16:15:27.886-05:002015-12-11T16:15:27.886-05:00My mom talks about this all.the.time.

Basically she says it's not even worth calling in sick, because of the sub plans and the kids being off schedule and a total disaster when she returns. So I totally get it!Sarah Alwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592856192999277982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745494024756263152.post-40235569571129486112015-12-09T13:45:30.428-05:002015-12-09T13:45:30.428-05:00Wow, as a non-teacher this is eye opening.

But I can definitely relate in the aspect that I rarely call in because no one else in my office knows how to do my job, nor can I easily explain it to them.

Also, I schedule any planned appointments for either morning or afternoon because it's easier to plan for a specific half of the day. Usually the half with my prep period because that's less to plan for :/<br />When Scout had surgery in October, I was writing plans from memory at midnight and sending them to my teammate, via text, from the animal hospital.<br />My principals have always made me have the emergency sub folders. Just a pile o' busywork. Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075708535155080258noreply@blogger.com
