First substitute teaching assignment on Monday. Any advice?
I do not have an education background so I don't have the benefit of student teaching or even education classes. I'm filling in for a 4th/5th grade combination class for the afternoon.

Don't go!!!
Seriously, if you are there for the afternoon you might go early to see how the children are with their regular teacher. They will not be any better with you. Have low expectations; do not expect them to behave.
You need to have enough work to keep them busy, and then more work for when they finish the work that they have already been assigned. Keeping them busy is the key to success. Otherwise, they will need to go tot the restroom, locker, library, etc.
I worked as a substitute teacher for three and one-half years, but not on the elementary school level. I can tell you that the kids are always trying to get away with something!
