Great resource!

A superb resource for substitute teachers of classes grades K-5

Printed with a "lay-flat" binding for easy photocopying, The Substitute Teaching Survival Guide is a superb resource for substitute teachers of classes grades K-5. Featuring an array of emergency lesson plans for each grade and a wealth of practical advice from retired public school teacher John Dellinger, recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award. Although The Substitute Teaching Survival Guide is especially meant for substitute teachers, regular teachers will find it useful particularly for its sample exercises and learning-based activities, should the class get ahead of its syllabus. Lessons cover such topics as US Presidents, basic math and money, weather, features of the human body, American history and landmarks, and much more. Highly recommended.
