As you and I know planning for subs can be time-consuming and tedious. One might say that "it is easier being there than planning for a substitute".

Wouldn't it be great to have a pack of backup lessons from which to pull on short notice? Consider putting these in a binder that you keep as a substitute with other instructions, class rotations, schedules, emergency drills, events, etc. These can be used anytime during the year.
