How many times do you just suffer through it? Too many right? But every once in a while something comes up where you don't even have a choice. So for those days, we pulled together a list of things that you can leave with your students. These are activities and graphic organizers that wouldn't need tons of instruction from you -- especially if they're things you've done with them before. And bonus! These won't need much prep. Several are just print + go activities. Explore a Scientist: This graphic organizer is a great way to let your students learn about the life of a scientist. You can have them all research the same one or allow them to select one individually. Either way, all your students need is a computer, iPad, or encyclopedia and the worksheet. Plus, you can feel confident that they're getting some practice with writing. Valuable Vocabulary: When you're not around, one of the best things your students can do is practice with on-going terminology. This will allow them additional methods for review. Careers in Science series: Help your students dive into professional options for scientists. One important thing you can do for your students, is to show them a variety of career options that use different types of science. This series includes the job description of a sports nutritionist, a meteorologist, a forensic scientist, and a veterinarian. Your students will need access to the internet to complete the graphic organizer. Cell Theory: Whether you're currently studying cell theory or you just want your students to have a greater appreciation for the way the microscope changed science, this graphic organizer is a great way to make it happen. Movies: Let's face it -- sometimes there's just nothing better for your students to do while you're gone than watch a movie. But these movies all have different aspects of science that are covered. And your students will enjoy them! Read through the list and check out the best ones for your crew. Follow LearnEd Notebooks on social media!

Emergency Sub Plans Middle School - Calling a substitute for a 6th grade class has never been easier!! I have used these 6th grade sub plans myself. You can easily edit this word document to fit your specific times/activities. My sub plans have lines to insert the ELA and Math lessons we are on. I just leave the manuals on my front table open to those lessons. If you’d rather not leave your regular lesson plans for the sub, or if you have your manuals at home, this resource also includes a PDF file of activities (with time allotments and standard aligned) that a substitute can easily teach. ✅ What's included: ✅ ~ A chart of activities with time allotments and correlated Common Core standards. {Just choose the worksheets you want, & make copies or ask the sub to. 32 pages} 4 are answer keys ~ My actual lesson plans. This is a word doc that you can easily amend. (**One page of editable plans.) ~ 6 Additional editable pages that come in handy for Substitutes: Class List, Seating Chart, Behavior Expectations, Allergies, Emergency Procedures, and Notes for the Teacher *Activities in these sub plans are a sampling taken from other resources found in my Tpt store. Also, each grade level might be very similar to the grade above or below it (with minor adjustments made and standard realignment), therefore I do not recommend purchasing sequential grade level sub plans. ◼️ If you like this, you might also like the links below:◼️ Mesopotamia ~ Ancient Civilizations Travel Brochures & Activities Summary Writing!

Being the crazy person that I am, I've been at school the last week and a half setting up my classroom even though I won't be returning until November because of my maternity leave. In between the hot gluing and book labeling, I met the person who will be filling in for me while I am out. She's fresh out of college, completed her student teaching, and came to meet me with a list of questions and color-coded notes. She was prepared ... and I was impressed!We got talking about the big picture: curriculum, routines to establish, units to cover. Before leaving, she asked me several questions, but one in particular made me pause...What is your behavior plan? I literally stared at her for a few awkward beats and started flipping through my mental rolodex (youngins, look it up lol). Then it hit me. I don't have one! I don't have one because I don't need one, and why don't I need one???I'm sure most veteran teachers feel this way! Most of us don't have explicit behavior plans, so what do we know, what do we do, that new teachers don't?Tip One: It starts with the first interaction. The first day of school and every day after, I am at the door greeting the kids when they enter my room. I make eye contact, say hello, once I learn it, I say their name, and smile! The first day of school I shake their hands and welcome them into the classroom. THIS IS KEY. If a student tries to enter the room in a way that I do not approve of, I do not let them enter. I literally say these words: That's not how we come into this classroom. Let's try that again. There is no yelling. I keep a pleasant smile, but my tone is strict. They try again, and you bet they enter in a more appropriate way and the correct tone is set. She means business!Tip Two: Loud vs. Quiet My first year teaching I had all these cute call and responses to get the class's attention, but they never worked and I couldn't figure out why. But after observing master teachers I figured it out. When students get loud, new teachers get louder. Master teachers get quieter.I don't know about your house, but in my house if we told our parents something and they were silent, it was WAY worse than if they yelled. Same thing in the classroom. Never, NEVER talk over the students. There are 20+ of them and one of you; they will win every time. The louder they get, the quieter you get. Stand completely still and wait. Wait. Wait. Until every student's attention is on you. It may take a bit, but do it. I normally watch the clock. Standing there waiting can feel like a while, but watch the clock - count in your head 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute if it takes that long. As soon as you have everyone's attention, glance around the room and move on. They get it. EVERYONE'S attention matters. It's important that they ALL hear what is about to be said. Once they learn this, they get each other quiet when you call for attention.What to do with the one student who still talks? Use the power of a dramatic entrance!I wear heels every day (another story lol), so if a student continues to talk while I'm waiting, I walk... slowly... click... click... arms crossed... making my way over... until I'm standing next to them. I glance down and wait. No yelling. No scolding. No lecturing. Just waiting. Once they finish, pause a beat, then move on. Continue teaching.This quiet waiting game prevents chaos from ensuing! There is no yelling, no lecturing needed!Tip Three: Know their priorities... Most likely, it's not you. Having taught for almost ten years in a middle school, I can tell you there is no greater influence on tweens than their peers. They are so hyper-conscious of how they appear in front of their friends or classmates - keep this in mind! It can be to your advantage, or if used the wrong way, can be a nightmare.Because of this social awareness, confronting a student's behavior in front of the class is not going to work. Most of the time, they get embarrassed and act out because everyone is watching. Corrections need to be discreet. Walk over to a student's desk. Tap on the desk and in a low voice tell them in a few words what needs to be done. Student playing with something they shouldn't have? Walk over, tap the desk, make eye contact: We're doing xyz now. Wait until you see action, and then keep walking. If they behavior doesn't improve, I normally give the kids one more chance. If after I address them twice there is no change, I ask them to step into the hallway. That is where I will have the conversation about appropriate behavior. But NEVER in front of their peers! That is a sure-fire way to start a hostile relationship with a student.Let's Wrap Up... 1. Set the tone at the start of class2. Keep your voice calm and strong3. Redirect students in a discreet manner I hope these tips help all new teachers or even veteran teachers! They have worked for me with my 7th graders!
