Each lesson in the first grade sub plans is simple enough for the sub to follow, but will engage your students in real learning …and not just busy work.
These captivating lesson plans include a short section for notes at the bottom of the page if you’d like to write extra notes for the sub (or, alternatively, for the sub to leave you notes about how the lesson went!)
All graphic organizers, activities, or worksheets needed to complete the lesson are INCLUDED. All that’s left to do is make copies of the student pages…. Or opt to use the digital Google Slides versions which are ready to go with text boxes and movable pieces in ALL-DIGITAL format.
In addition to the core lessons, the following activities are also included so you won’t have to worry about the sub running out of things to do. First grade sub plans BONUS activities include:

- Digital BINGO Game with movable pieces! The BINGO includes content from the other lessons during the day
Rest assured the day will run smoothly, because we’ve got you covered with these extras, too:

- Binder Cover and Spines to get your master-copy binder organized
- 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 😉
And last, but certainly not least, this comprehensive first grade sub plans resource also includes editable forms to fill out in the same document as the lesson plans so you can customize your sub plans to perfectly fit YOUR classroom!
- 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

Thank you for the feedback! I am actually working on adding some more to the sub plans- working my way down the grades. So you’ll get those upgrades as soon as I get to 1st grade. 🙂

The sub said the kids (first grade) were bored. It is a lot of worksheets and very little engagement. It’s good in a pinch, I guess.

This is a fantastic resource. I have them all printed out and ready to go with my daily schedule in case I ever have an emergency and need to be out. My neighbor teacher knows exactly where they are and all she has to do is place the folder on my desk if I need to be out. I don’t need to come in and lesson plan and set up my classroom for a sub if I’m sick. These are AMAZING!!!!
