WHY DID I DOUBT THESE??? I was worried about the price, but honestly…at 2 in the morning, when I’m panicking about my sick child and running to school…this is what I should have had. Definitely worth it, even when I do have plans ready. Nice layout, very friendly to teachers and subs.

This resource encompasses all aspects of planning for a sub! I appreciate the detail and thought that was placed in this product. Teachers receive clear communication for preparation of the materials, and substitutes are provided with guidance/suggestions for using the lessons throughout the day.
