This document is a series of descriptive lesson plans with the overall goal of getting students up to their current grade standards. If you want to use this, you're free to change it as you like and share it with whomever. Even though this will probably be the biggest resource I'll post, I want to keep this free. If you'd like to repay, just share this with other teachers you know might need it, and take a look at other resources I post and see if there are any you would need.
