⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This resource is perfectly made! I can tell how much time and effort went into creating it. Not only is it standards aligned, 2nd grade applicable, engaging, but it’s also beautifully made! This gave me approximately 9-10 days worth of emergency sub plans in one go. Totally worth buying! The seller was prompt to answer a question about a download issue and had it fixed within a day or two which was very professional of her as well. I cannot wait to hear how much my kids loved these activities when I will inevitably have to be out with my sick toddler sometime in the year.

– Breann T.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a wonderful resource to have! I like to have it prepped in the case of an emergency or illness. Gives me peace of mind and prevents me from worrying and stressing over sub plans. I have had to use it, and the sub wrote how much she loved it!

– Plant Kindness
