Emergency sub plan basics

What can I use when an activity ends early?

Save My Class creates one low-prep activity for the grade and amount of time you select. Add the subject, materials in the room, classroom energy, and grouping to match the idea to your class.

What details does Save My Class use?

It uses grade, available time, subject, materials, classroom energy, and grouping. You can choose from Kindergarten through Grade 5, select 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, and describe the materials already available.
