Teachers, like other professionals, occasionally miss work. If you’re an educator, odds are you’ll need to be away from your classroom at some point during the school year. Your child might suddenly get the flu. Your car may unexpectedly break down on the interstate during your morning commute to work. You might get the opportunity to attend a dynamic two-day conference for educators in another state. Regardless of the reason, when you need to miss a school day, presenting your substitute teacher with a step-by-step lesson plan to follow is crucial. If you don’t have the time or energy to put into creating a lesson plan for a substitute, Daybreak Lesson Plans can help.

Emergency Sub Plans for 5th Grade

When an emergency situation arises, you might have a limited amount of time and resources to create a lesson plan. Our lesson plans are intended for teachers who have an emergency absence and must provide a substitute with a lesson plan quickly.

What Types of 5th-Grade Lesson Plans Are Available?

A one-size-fits-all mentality doesn’t work for substitute lesson plans. Some days, you might need to only miss two hours of classroom time. On other occasions, you may not see your students for an entire day. Our lesson plans are available in one hour, half-day and full-day options. Exit tickets are provided at the end of each segment of a lesson. After reading the exit tickets, you’ll know exactly what your substitute covered. When you return to the classroom, you can easily pick up where your substitute left off, if you desire. We offer language arts and math lesson plans for 5th-grade students.
