Ideas
By Cathy-Dee

Clip to ScrapBook   
The others already gave some good ideas of what to do in case the plans are sparse.

A few other ideas
- if the weather is nice take them outside for an extra gym period
- plan an easy art activity that would not require
much materials - a type of drawing for example
- any type of games, songs, poems, skits, reader's theatre, etc, are all things that can take up time and still be very educational.
- use whatever workbooks you can find in the classroom.
- see if you can book the computer lab for an extra class.

As far as helping out the classroom teacher....
- leaving a detailed note

on the day - what work was finished, what wasn't, who behaved, who didn't, etc.,
- leaving the desk neat and tidy with the work to be marked in one pile.
- marking easy things if you have time (but don't work hours overtime to do the marking).
- staying with the plans as much as possible. I always dislike it when I come back and see that almost nothing was done with the plans I have left.

Have fun with your first teaching experiences
