My 365 Blog Challenge: Day 44/365
Material Monday
I struggle with sub plans! I hate being gone and I never know what to plan for a sub who is not a music person (which in my experience, it is very hard to find a music sub.) I had to be gone one day this year for a training and through many conversations with other music teachers, I think I have finally found ideas that I like for sub plans.
Kindergarten
I try to avoid movies, but I did leave a Disney Sing Along video for my students to watch. If I am gone later in the year, I will plan on a game day. Now that we have played many singing games, my students can play and sing them without a lot of help from me. Usually there is at least one student who knows the words, so the others can be reminded.
First Grade
Game Day. I was gone in the beginning of the year, so I did leave a movie, but next time I will not. Days I am gone are great days for students to play games from previous years that they love to play.
Second Grade
Game Day. My students often ask when we are going to play games we played in 1st grade. Days I am gone are great days for this.
