Fall In Love with Teaching Blog Hop
Welcome friends to our #thirdgradetribe Fall in Love with Teaching Blog Hop! Fall in love with teaching (or fall in love again) as you hop through 20 blogs to get great tips, giveaways, fun freebies, and have a chance to enter a major giveaway for 2 grand prizes: $50 TpT gift card and a $25 TpT gift card. In addition, I am also giving away a freebie and doing a Rafflecopter for a product!
My time saving tip is for the inevitable: absent students and an absent YOU. It will happen, and it's great to be prepared for when you or your students are absent.
#1
My Editable Absent Folder Covers come in a set of 10 black/white covers and 10 color covers.
Print, glue on a folder or pocket folder, and laminate. When a student is absent, place one of these absent folders on the desk. Throughout the day, place work/papers inside the folder. When the student returns to school, send the absent folder home. The missed work is completed and returned to school in the folder. These covers are editable! Use what I have listed or think of your own message.
#2
To help myself stay organized for the substitute teacher during my absence, I use teacher absent folders. I have a folder for each day of the week. If I know of my absence in advance, I place my plans and all needed work in the correct folder. These folders can also be used for every day use if you prefer.
#3
I also like for the substitute teacher to give feedback about the day. Use the Substitute Log to find out how the day went. Click on the link above to download your freebie.
Well, that's it for my "absent" tips. In addition to the freebie, I'm giving away an Editable Absent Folder Cover and the Teacher Daily Absent Folder Cover.

I try to get the work to the students, but having these folders would make it much easier! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Mrs. Brown! Good luck!
DeleteLate work is my least favorite thing! I need a better way to get that organized, thanks for sharing!

Jennifer, I'm not a fan of late work. That's why I tell absent children to keep their work inside the folder--so it won't be counted late.
DeleteI try to have them make up the work but I am so disorganized :) I need help!! Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mia! Good luck!
DeleteI lay a sheet on their desk and we write down assignments. I put the kids in charge of laying out their books and worksheets when a student is absent, but I love these folder covers!!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas. I am excited about the substitute log.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Amber!
Deleteno procedure of yet
ReplyDeleteRetta, you'll create a procedure that matches your style. It takes time.
DeleteI usually model some of the work on the absent student's paper, that way they have less to make up when they return.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea Emily! I'll keep that in mind for the future.
DeleteI don't have a procedure for absent work. This is a great idea! Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Amy! Good luck!
DeleteI do the same as you, leave a folder on their desk. Your folders are much cuter than mine though!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Leaving the folder on their desks makes the absence a lot easier.
DeleteYes, I love the absent folder, must better way to keep things organized!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love to be organized.
DeleteI write their names on any worksheets or test they missed and put it in the folder for that subject. I like the idea of a separate folder so students can take more responsibility to see what they missed and it is a central location for their materials.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, in the past I wrote names/dates and placed in the folder for the subject, but sometimes I forgot to give to the student. This method helps me remember, and like you said--makes the child more responsible.
DeleteI keep saying I need to do this! You have inspired me! I really like the way you have it set up!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Becky

Thanks, Becky!
DeleteALways great to have a plan when you and a student are absent!
ReplyDeleteYes, Kim! It's great to have a plan. It eliminates a lot of stress.
DeleteGreat idea for keeping organized! I really like the idea of sending home the make up work. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rissa! I feel organization helps me be a better teacher.
DeleteI put it in the designated cubby and they know to get it when they are absent,
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, Gay.
DeleteYour folder covers are so much cuter than my plain-Jane yellow folders... I literally wrote "missing work" and "please return to Mrs. Hulsey" using a marker! I need your version!
ReplyDeleteI just collect the papers and put them in their folder. I'd like this option much better! :)
