AnonyMouse_3139 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I've just signed with a supply agency. Have you got any tips, pit falls, words of wisdom? I've started getting a bag together of odds and ends, soft toy, couple of fav stories. Any ideas will be appriciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 hi rea as a Supply teacher, my needs may be different to yours but I always take with me some pens and pencils for me to use and some paper( to record wht has happened? evaluate etc ) and a whistle! I also have some resources in my car, some big books and a set of trays for sand patterns etc. I have an apron and a pair of plimsols. I often grab a story book relevant to the age group I have been booked for and a book of rhymes but very often I find I dont need resources of my own. Ive also bought some stickers but dont think they made it into my bag yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 When I did a brief stint as supply I had my favourite story (The Gruffalo) as a big book and a small book and found we could do so much work from that if nothing had been left for whatever reason, from Reception- Y2 (nursery classes that I went in were always sorted!) as it lends itself to some great art work as well as literacy. I also made sure I took my stickers and stamps with me- kids LOVE them and always good for a bit of good fashioned bribery with the more tricky ones! Like others say, a good stocked pencil case, a pair of trainers and a CD with kids songs was always in my car, and well used too! I always wrote a note to the teacher afterwards too and I know when I've had supply in for me and they've done that for me I've always found it really useful. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
