Sub Plans: I just remembered part of why I don’t take sick days.

I just spent over an hour writing sub plans trying to remember what I wanted to do tomorrow when most of my resources are at school since I left early today due to illness. I also think my sub plans might be too long.

It is so much work to be sick when you’re a teacher.

I know there are many substitute teachers in this community. Having never been a sub, I don’t know what would be helpful in lesson plans. What do/would you love to see in plans? What do you hate?
