For teachers, the thought of writing a lesson plan for a substitute or as a new teacher can be daunting. Questions such as, “How well do they know life science?” or “How detailed do I need to be to explain how to find common multiples?” commonly cross a teacher’s mind when determining the level of information needed in a substitute teacher lesson plan.

Sometimes the thought of writing the lesson plan can be so overwhelming, that the day out of the office does not even seem worth it — forcing teachers to power through work sick or miss an important training opportunity.

With Daybreak Lesson Plans, teachers no longer need to worry about writing lesson plans for substitutes. Daybreak Lesson Plans offers lesson plans that are scripted and easy for anyone to follow.

Say goodbye to the endless hours spent crafting plans, aligning curriculum to standards, and forming summative assessments for substitute teachers. Instead, teachers who count on Daybreak Lesson Plans are reclaiming the nights and weekends otherwise spent devising lesson plans from scratch — and they often get plans for no more than the cost of their morning coffee.

When you buy one of our 4th-grade lesson lesson plans at Daybreak Lesson Plans, you’re getting carefully vetted, effective lesson plans from experienced teachers you can trust.

What Types of Lesson Plans for 4th Grade Are Available?

Our lesson plans embody many of the curriculum areas that 4th-grade teachers need most. From 4th-grade math lesson plans to 4th-grade language arts lesson plans to 4th-reading lesson plans, Daybreak Lesson Plans has you covered.

Here are a couple of examples of our lesson plans:

  • A half-day language arts lesson might ask students to read informational text about Native Americans and then recount the information in a Bingo game.
  • A one-hour lesson might ask students to apply area formulas to solve real-world problems, and a whole-day lesson intertwines summarization with crossword puzzles.

Why Choose Daybreak Lesson Plans?

There certainly is no shortage of lesson plan providers available. From textbook creators to individual teachers, the market for devising and selling lesson plans is rich. That’s why it’s important to explain what sets Daybreak Lesson Plans apart:

  • Our lesson plans are only published after looking at data — that is, the outcomes of students learning the material in real classrooms — and only after adjustments have been made based on that data.
  • Lesson plans are written by experienced teachers who are familiar with the Common Core and its practical implications.
  • Lesson plans are fully scripted so a substitute or novice teacher can pick up the lesson and know exactly what to say and do to make it meaningful to students.
  • Every lesson aligns to the Common Core, with the applicable standards outlined for teachers to share with students.
  • Lesson plans can be sorted according to the amount of time needed — from one-hour to whole-day activities are available.
