airebornearmywife... I'd love to sub for you!
3togetready... my kids are a wonderful source of ideas for me. I love the stuffed animal idea but know that I'd have to put them through the laundry every time I sub.
cscout... you are right but do teachers like to come back to the truth? or do they want the sub to take care of problems? We walk a fine line but if a teacher doesn't like coming back to the truth, then I probably don't want to sub in his/her room again anyway.
I like having a good plan ahead of time because that means that I will get called back for certain teachers whose classes I love to sub in.
