Getting ready - Unit Plans

School starts soon - less than two weeks now. I just finished a week's worth of APL training (a system of classroom management we will be implementing school-wide.) Here are the units we will be working on in the 2nd-5th grade (K-1 will be doing the Calico Spanish curriculum.) Not sure we'll make it through everything -  I don't have a good track record of getting through things quickly. But that's because I want to make sure that my students can really do what I'm asking plus the inevitable field trips, assemblies, and other disruptions that almost always take place during Specials.  But a change in the schedule for next year does mean that band and orchestra won't be pulled from my class any longer - WOOHOO!
