No-Prep Emergency Sub Plans for 5th Grade

EVERYTHING you need for 10 days of absences.

Simplify your teaching routine with these comprehensive emergency sub plans tailored for fifth grade. Bid farewell to the time-consuming task of preparing for unexpected absences. This resource provides all the necessary materials, allowing you to prep once and eliminate the stress of last-minute planning. Prioritize your well-being and family needs with confidence.

You’ll get 60 rigorous, engaging, and easy-to-understand activities, one for each of these 6 subjects for 10 full days:

-whole group reading

-small group/partner reading

-writing

-math

-science

-social studies

**********************************************

Note: These are NOT supposed to be easy review activities or busywork like most sub plans! They are designed to provide rigorous and challenging work for kids even though you are not there. If all your students already know how to read and do all the activities you leave for them, they will be bored, act out, and not complete the work. These will be meaningful and engaging challenges, and your students might just surprise you with how much they’re able to do!

**********************************************

There's no additional prep work or materials needed: simply print class sets of the activities and tweak the schedule for the sub to fit your schedule, and you’re done.

*No more “busywork” in the form of low-level worksheets: activities are rigorous, inspire divergent thinking, and are aligned to standards so kids don’t miss a day of learning

*No more creating seperate lessons plans for students’ various ability levels: most activities are open-ended and therefore naturally differentiated

*No more racing around at the last minute gathering materials: all you need is a class set of photocopies for each day’s activities

*No more spending hours tweaking other sub plans you’ve found online: if you don’t like one activity, there are 9 more included for that subject area which you can quickly swap out

*No more hoping your students will actually do the work when you’re out: these resources are classroom tested to ensure developmental appropriateness and engagement

*No more creating gigantic sub binders with every piece of reference info possible: forms are streamlined to include only the most important info so you can fill it out quickly and the sub doesn’t have to wade through stacks of info

These activities are rigorous for kids but EASY for subs: there are short, simple directions that ANY sub can easily follow, with no teaching required. If you end up with no sub and your students get split among other classes, you can have these stapled together as a packet for them to do in other teachers’ rooms.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

There is a lot of overlap between the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade skills, so you will have duplicate and highly similar activities if you purchase multiple sub plans.

NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT LEVEL FOR YOUR KIDS?
I recommend buying only ONE set of sub plans--click the "preview" button at the top of this page to see an entire day's worth of lessons. If those look too hard, choose the 4th grade bundle instead. The grade level is approximate and not referenced anywhere in the student materials, so pick whatever resource best fits your students' needs. If these activities look too easy, I would only recommend choosing the middle school bundle if you teach 1-2 subject areas to different groups of students.

Enjoy!
