Re: Major Help Needed!

It would help if you could tell us what you want to cover during the last weeks. Also, what grade level are you teaching, so we know how much information you would like to cover. 
Is it possible for you to drop off lesson plans at the school and possibly talk to the substitute and go over the lesson plans?

I will be taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act and won't be getting paid (since I don't have that much leave built up), but I am certainly not just going to leave them with a sub until I get back (we'll have about 3 weeks left when I return).

I teach lower-level chemistry and physical science and we do not have an end-of-course test so technically I can teach whatever I want in these courses.  I have been sticking to the state guidelines, but now I am just hoping to get some ideas for helping my students learn something related to science while I'm gone.
