Be prepared the next time you have to call in a last-minute substitute with a collection from The Curriculum Corner that offers a variety of resources to make leaving sub plans exponentially less stressful. Included is a general lesson plan ready for a full day of instruction, individual worksheets, and printables all of which designed for a first grade class. 

Here is a set of three kindergarten writing rubrics designed to meet the Common Core writing standards for opinion, informative, and narrative writing pieces. They each include four levels of performance—beginning, developing, proficient, and exemplary—while also addressing Common Core language standards. The rubrics come in both PDF form and a document version for easy editing.
