Teaching tips

Fill in all bracketed placeholders ([season], [subject], [teacher's name], [number], [email address]) before printing or sending, since they are left blank in the template
Personalize the specific student contributions mentioned (helping erase the board, collecting papers) to reflect your own class rather than leaving the generic examples
Coordinate with the substitute teacher before sending so the contact email included is accurate and current
