- Answer Keys & Worksheet Guides for ALL worksheets & graphic organizers so even if your sub doesn’t know the answers, they have something to refer to (and in the digital version, the answer keys are NOT inside the student document- so there will be no accidentally assigning students the answer key on our watch 😉Â

Thank you! Really great resources. My class is a little bit more advanced and this could be used as a starter for sub plans, but I would have to add more. If your class has a variety of levels, this would be a great start. Thanks for your hard work.

Learning Stages by Sarah Skiba –
This is a great resource overall. I love the answer sheets, as not all subs coming in have experience in the 5th grade. I also like all of the Math choices and the fact that it is beginning of the year skills so you aren’t depending on the sub to teach a completely new concept. Review is always great!! The only complaint I have at all is that I wish the Amendment piece had a separate sheet that listed the amendments to show the students as we were going over them.

I absolutely LOVE having a digital version of all of my ready to go sub plans! In a remote/hybrid world, this was exactly what was needed!
It is so great not having to worry about taking a day off anymore. I used to come in to work no matter how sick I was because it was more work to create sub plans than it was to just go in. Now that I have these ready to go sub plans I allow myself the time off to rest and recover. This was a life saver!
