As you probably know, I am currently on maternity leave! ⁠
⁠
Today on the blog I am sharing all the details with you about what sub plans I left for my leave plus some other ideas you could use if you need a longer leave than I did. ⁠
⁠

I created an activities packet for the book El lib

I created an activities packet for the book El libro de los americanos desconocidos complete with the answer key so that my long term sub can easily grade my students' work while I'm out on maternity leave!⁠
⁠
I have found this is a practical sub plan for an extended leave from heritage class. ⁠
⁠
⁠

My heritage speaker students (mostly the girls) lo

My heritage speaker students (mostly the girls) love reading the graphic novels by Raina Telgemeier. ⁠
⁠
Do you have any of these in your classroom library? I highly recommend these! ⁠

This is one of my favorite units to teach because

This is one of my favorite units to teach because happiness is such an important topic! ⁠
⁠
Social-emotional well-being can't be overlooked and with heritage class we can easily learn about topics like this while improving their Spanish skills at the same time. ⁠
⁠

Hyperdoc assignments are a great sub-plan! I love

Hyperdoc assignments are a great sub-plan! I love that I can assign these from home last minute without even needing to print copies.⁠
⁠
One positive that has come from the pandemic is how much more digitally savvy my students are.⁠
⁠

This análisis literario packet is designed for he

This análisis literario packet is designed for heritage Spanish speakers. You can use this resource for a literary analysis unit, a literature circle unit, or just to differentiate for heritage speakers that are mixed into a novice Spanish class.⁠

If my students don't like the book they are readin

If my students don't like the book they are reading, it is perfectly fine for them to abandon the book and pick a different one! ⁠
⁠
I have actually had a hard time doing that in my own reading life because I feel so determined to finish the book, but I have been giving myself permission to not finish a book that doesn't interest me and it has been liberating! There are so many books to read, and such little time so don't waste time on a book that you don't even enjoy! ⁠
⁠
I'm sure this advice can apply to other areas of life as well. :)

Fast-finisher sheets! ⁠ ⁠ Provide students wit

Fast-finisher sheets! ⁠
⁠
Provide students with these binder cover sheets so they can decorate them how they please when they finish an assignment early. ⁠
⁠
They then put this inside the front cover of their binder for Spanish class.
