I teach 3rd grade. I bought this because I was having to take off a couple of days to prepare for my daughter’s wedding. With all the stress of the wedding and then having to have more detailed plans for covid, I was really hoping that these would be papers I could just add in so I did not have to explain to my sub how to teach the writing lessons. I was also hoping for work that went along with the other subjects we were learning so that it could be extra work if necessary. Though I love and appreciate how much work she has put into these sub plans I was disappointed that they were all written for work that we do farther along in the year. These would work great for the second quarter of our school year or later but not for the first quarter. I will definitely get to use some of these if I have to miss later. One example I can give is that it starts right out with multiplication. We start learning multiplication in chapter 6 of our math books. It would have been nice to see some of the advanced addition and subtraction work for the beginning of the year.
Like I said, I do see all of the hard work that went into making these. They are very nice, but they did not work for me when I needed them at the beginning of the year.

Hi Rebecca! Congrats on your daughter’s wedding. And thanks so much for your purchase! Our sub plans cover the core standards for the whole year, and we do list the contents in the description. Did you see there are several math lesson options that don’t include multiplication? I’m wondering if you missed that.
In either case, the lesson plans are ready for your sub so you shouldn’t need to take any time to write the lessons. The lessons are written as if the students do not know the concepts. We have had very few teachers have problems with them, with over 10,000 teachers having used our sub plans over the past 6 years.
Having said that, we want our customers to be happy and have the best resource for them and their class. I’m having my assistant Rachael reach out to you with our happiness guarantee. She will get you all squared away. I’d recommend using your credit to get the 2nd grade plans if you are wanting review content. Be sure to check the “preview” tabs when you use your credit because we always strive to show a good example of what is included in the content of our plans in our previews and descriptions.
Thanks again for your purchase, and I hope everything went smoothly with the wedding!
