Packed with engaging activities, this ready-to-use set is ready for your sub tub, and designed to ease the burden of substitute teacher planning while keeping students engaged and motivated.

You'll get a stand-alone resource that was designed to offer a print-and-go sub-plan solution for ELA teachers who don't have time to prep their lessons.

Students read a pop culture article on the Mr Beast Sensation and you get lessons that include both reading and writing. Two fun puzzles are also included, as well as a design page on redesigning and modernizing the MrBeast logo for the #MrBeastLogoChallenge. Students will design the new logo on a hoodie (merch). The estimated lexile measure of this set ranges from 700 to 900.

I always leave my sub binder on my desk for a sub, administrator, or colleague to grab in case of an emergency. I feel at ease knowing my students are engaged, productive, and learning even when I have to be out of the classroom.

Activity: Students can complete all six worksheets as part of a sub packet, but if you don't see them for a full block then assign only one page each day you're out (you'll get even more bang for your buck!)

As students are learning the 52 primer sight words in this product, they will be provided with each word, an example of the word used in a sentence, and the opportunity to make up a sentence themselves using the word. I find that with my students who are Deaf/hard of hearing/ELL, when they make up sentences using the newly learned sight word, it helps them to remember how to spell the word, the meaning, and how it is used. My students love booklets of any kind that they can refer back to. Once they have come up with their sentences, they can include pictures that they print and cut out, draw pictures freehand, or find pictures in a magazine that they can add to each page of the pre-primer sight word booklet that matches each sentence they come up with. This gives students the opportunity to connect what they are learning about in the classroom with their own personal interests. This booklet is perfect for students that are on grade level as well as students who require instructional information to be adapted.
