Grade 5Substitute Teacher Plans

Ready-to-print plans for the days you are out, arranged by cluster. Click any cluster to open its complete substitute folder.
PURPOSE
This page holds the Grade 5 Substitute Teacher Plans for each cluster, so learning keeps going when you are out.
RATIONALE
Each plan reviews skills and passages your students already know, so the substitute keeps learning connected without moving ahead of you.
HOW TO USE THIS PAGE
Choose your current cluster, print the folder before you are out, and leave it for the substitute. Use a Step only after its module has been taught.
For the days you will be out. Each cluster has its own Substitute Teacher Plans: five stand-alone 15 minute lessons (Step 1 to Step 5) on that cluster's passages, each with a Start Here page, a SAY / DO / EXPECT teaching script, the passage, student pages, an answer and support guide, and a Return to Teacher note. Print the folder before you are out; the substitute uses today's packet. Use a Step only after its module has been taught.
