Description
What is included in these Digital 3rd Grade Social Studies Sub Plans?
Each lesson in these digital 3rd grade social studies sub plans is simple enough for the sub to follow, but will engage your students in authentic learning …and not just busy work. Each lesson plan has a section for teacher notes at the bottom for any notes you’d like to leave for the sub (or for the sub to leave you notes!) All the graphic organizers, activities, or worksheets needed to complete every lesson are included. The following topics are included:
-
Maps
-
Community and civic responsibility
-
The environment- my carbon footprint & recycling
-
My culture
-
The government and community needs
In addition to the 3rd grade social studies lessons, the following DIGITAL student activities are also included so you won’t have to worry about the sub running out of things to do.
- Brain Breaks that can be used to help break up the day
- Art Activity to help get creative juices flowing and fill time as-needed
- Digital Notebook Template covering a topic from one of the lesson plans
- Digital BINGO Game with movable pieces! The BINGO includes content from the other lessons during the day
- Digital Educational Game with movable pieces! The educational game covers content from the other lessons from the day
- Just Add a Task Digital Board Game with movable pieces! All that’s left to do is add a task- such as a spelling or vocab list or math flash cards. It can also be played just for fun without a task. Color and B&W versions included.
Rest assured the day will run smoothly because we’ve got these extras to make 3rd grade social studies sub-planning EASY FOR YOU!
- Teacher PDF with tips for utilizing the Google Slides documents

Plus, a bonus editable PowerPoint, which includes:
While most of the digital 3rd grade social studies sub plans are ready to go for your convenience, this bonus editable document allows you to customize your outline and information to your own class.
- Substitute Plan Outline: A complete editable outline for your entire day! It has been filled out but you may customize it to suit your needs

Well worth the $10. This is more than just a few day’s worth of social studies plans. I already have it organized and in a binder to add to my “sub tub” and to use as regular & emergency sub plans! Perfect!
