Emergency Sub Plans K-5 & Editable Sub Binder | 3 Full Days for K-2 and 3-5 | LOW PREP

Sick day tomorrow? Set up the sub tub once, and a substitute can run three full, calm, standards-aligned days whenever you are unexpectedly out.

What's inside

• Emergency_Sub_Plans_K-2.pdf (58 pages) and Emergency_Sub_Plans_3-5.pdf (58 pages), each fully standalone
• 5-page teacher guide: what's inside, a 15-minute sub tub setup, how to copy one day, tips for a sub-friendly room, and a standards list for the grade band
• 15-page editable sub binder with fillable form fields: welcome letter, Class at a Glance, daily schedule, specials and pull-out schedule, arrival and dismissal lists, attention signals and procedures, behavior plan, students who can help, notes for supporting students, emergency procedures, seating chart, technology, a 2-page How Did Today Go? report, and thank-you notes
• 3 complete sub days per grade band (33 pages per band): a Sub Day at a Glance schedule with editable times, plus 10 student pages per day
• Every day includes morning work, a read-aloud response that works with any book, an original reading passage with questions, 2 pages of mixed math review, a writing prompt with a planning box (narrative, opinion, informative), a science or social studies mini-lesson with an activity page, and a brain break (word search, maze, drawing, or code breaker)
• 4 pages of answer keys per band for every item with a right or wrong answer
• Sub_Binder_Editable.docx (15 pages): every binder form as an editable Word file

LOW PREP: Print the binder forms (type into them first if you like), copy each day's student pages, and clip them behind that day's schedule. On the day you are out, the substitute follows the Day at a Glance page. Lessons need only a copier, pencils, and crayons.
