My First Set of Bundled Sub Plans "Giveaway" - Enter From 7/29 through 8/4




When I was still in the classroom, I always struggled with creating meaningful sub-plans that would actually TEACH the students something that would be useful learning for choir.  Because I used to be a gymnast, I had to put my shoulders and biceps back together in 2018-2019.  It's a nine-month recovery with all of the PT that is required to get a full recovery.  The doctor told me to take 3 months off, and I was like...NO WAY.  I took less than two weeks off the first time.  For the second time, I took two weeks.  It was not what was best for my health.  I could have fallen and reinjured it.  So many bad things could have happened.  I didn't take more time because it felt easier to just be there than to create the sub plans.  

Not smart...

So, I created this first set of bundled plans for choir that can last you from two weeks to two months if you decide to do all of the creative extension activities I've included.   I created something I would use if were still in the classroom.  I am hoping to help you through your maternity leaves, sick days, mental health days, and more!

I rolled these sub plans out the same way I rolled out S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners. I started by releasing one lesson at a time until, two years later, I was able to bundle the whole program.   I designed them for use by non-music subs because when I was in the classroom daily, I rarely was able to obtain a music sub.  But, if you have a music sub, you can make these plans last for up to two months using the expansion activities I've included in some of the lessons...AND...YOU, the chorus or general music teacher, can also use these lessons as "regular" lessons and teach them yourself.  I think you'll have a wonderful time using the expansion activities.  The activities span from acting, creative writing, writing songs, making videos, interviewing, and so many more interesting ways to take the subject you are studying to a better understanding all while having a great time!  These plans follow the S-Cubed Philosophy!  3/4 Cup Learning + 1/4 Cup = Success!
