Daily Admin

Roll Call

Mark the roll and record any absences on the Substitute Teaching Day Feedback Form. Identify any students with special educational needs and ensure you are aware of any assistance they may require throughout the day.

Rules and Routines

Establish rules and expectations for the day with the students. Familiarize yourself with the regular routines of the class, as well as any additional activities happening during the day e.g. assembly.

Morning Session

Literacy – Spelling

Choose a slide from the Dictation Passages PowerPoint – Grade 1  to read out to the students. Ask the students to write the passage in their workbooks, then correct each passage as a class. If time permits, carry out the extension activity at the bottom of the slide.

Literacy – Writing

Display on the board the pictures of toys from the What Toy Am I? – Toy Definition Match up Game. Read the clue cards to the students and ask them to find the matching picture. Choose a different toy, not included in the game, and model how to write clues to describe the toy. Ask the students to think of a favorite toy at home to write clues for. Monitor and support the students as they write their clues and draw a matching picture. Provide students with the opportunity to read their toy clues to a partner to guess the toy. Encourage volunteers to read their clues to the whole class. If time permits, ask the students to write another set of clues for a different toy.

Middle Session

Numeracy – Number and Place Value

As a class, count forwards and backwards by ones to 100 from any starting point. Allocate a two-digit number to be the ‘Number of the Day’. Display the Number of the Day Warm-Up PowerPoint on the board. Proceed through each slide, giving the students sufficient time to complete each task. Ask the students to record their answers in their workbooks and encourage volunteers to share their answers and thought-processes with the class.

Numeracy – Number and Place Value

Divide the class into small groups. Provide each group with a set of Numbers, Words, Dots and Tallies Mix-Ups – 1 to 20 cards. Monitor and support the students as they work with their group to match each digit with its word, array and tally marks. Provide each student with a Numbers, Words and Tallies Worksheet to complete independently. Once the students have finished, correct the worksheet as a class.

Literacy – Shared Reading

Choose a picture book to read and share with the students.

Design and Technologies – Plan and Create

Provide each student with a blank board game template from the Blank Game Board – Monkey Maze resource. Students use the blank template to design and make their own board game. When finished, students can play each other’s board games in small groups.
