No Prep Sub Plans: Bad Case of the Stripes

When I was teaching in the classroom, nothing threw me off more than an unexpected sick day. These plans, based on A Bad Case of the Stripes, were my go-to for days I couldn’t be there. Students loved diving into the colorful, quirky world of Camilla Cream while still practicing key skills in reading, writing, and math.

Includes:

• Math: Patterning, mini-book, problem-solving prompt (plus editable templates)

• Word Work: Rhyming and syllables practice

• Writing: 3 themed writing prompts inspired by the book

• Reading: Retelling picture cards, story elements sheet

• Vocabulary: Anchor chart images

Even when I was out, I knew my students were learning through a story they’d remember.
