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!!!!
