As we enter winter and flu season, taking an unexpected day off as a teacher can always be a time consuming and stressful task. As a teacher, I always dread getting sub plans together since for me, it is such a time consuming task because I want everything to be perfect. I always like to be prepared for my students in case of an unexpected absence. While I am gone, it is important for my students to have meaningful work that reinforces the skills we are learning... not just busy work. My winter themed sub plans are all based on one of my favorite stories to share with my students in the winter, and "The Mitten" sub plans and can be easily printed in advance for a stress free day out. Included are a full days worth of activities for "The Mitten." All you need is a copy of the book The Mitten by Jan Brett (affiliate link), and I always like to copy and prepare my resources in advance. Or a YouTube version that is read online by the Jan Brett! The activities that supplement the story will keep your students engaged and challenged for the entire day. They cover all subject areas with kindergarten appropriate activities, as well as instruction sheets for your sub. To begin, I always read the story with the students and then sequencing the events to reinforce the story. It is always fun for students to put the events in order in a pocket chart and they always enjoy the participation. Students can then get their own little hands on their own emergent reader, that is a great way for them to help remember the story sequence independently and get a text in the student's own hands. Students at this time are pretty familiar with the story, so we complete a sequencing activity. (This sequencing sheet is a freebie at the end of the post). Also included are quite a few other literacy activities that are common in kindergarten such as labeling, “sentence surgery,” where students create a sentence out of mixed up words and a color by code mitten where students identify the middle vowel sound in a word. Writing is also an important skill in kindergarten. These sub plans cover two different levels of writing activities, based on the needs of your students. Many times in kindergarten, writing may be just be drawing and telling your story, while some students may be capable of writing to answer a question, so included are activities for both levels. As a teacher, it Is also to model for students and see what a "correct" sentence looks like so there is also a sentence copying and sentence "fix it" activity as well. Math is another subject that has so many different skills levels in a kindergarten classroom. I have included a huge variety of easy to differentiate activities for math as well, based on your students levels and what you have taught in the classroom. You will see simple skills such as counting and writing the numbers, ordering numbers 1-10, addition, and counting, counting by tens, teens numbers and graphing. Finally, there are fun "extras" that can be used to supplement or to substitute out an activity if you wish. Included you will also find a "hat," puppets for students to make and retell the story on their own, a crossword puzzle, maze and "which doesn't belong." These activities can definitely last you an entire day out, if not two. Hopefully, these sub plans and everything included will be able to give you peace of mind if you do have to be out of the classroom and your students are able to enjoy the activities while reinforcing skills.

I’ve been consistently journaling for 25 years now. I have no doubt that this has been the most important habit in my life that helps me stay sane (or at least return to sanity when stress, confusion, or circumstances knock me down). This is what I think is most important about journaling: find what works for you. What do you want to get out it? That’s really all that matters. When I boil it down to the simplest reason for me, I journal because I like how it makes me feel. I look forward to ho
