In order to give you some freedom and choice in your activities during days that I am absent, I have created a substitute teacher activity grid! Whenever I am absent, you should choose one (or more) of the assignments below to complete during your class time. The next time I am absent, you may choose another BUT it must be in the same column, row, or diagonal (think BINGO). If I am absent more than four days, you next assignments should begin in another row. When you complete your assignment, be sure to include the number of the assignment you chose. This page should be kept in the front of your binder. When an assignment is completed, circle it on your grid. Turn these assignments in FOR A GRADE then they can go in your portfolio.
