I love this document: SEEd Standards Science Summaries
I think it was complied by Alpine School District but I'm not sure.
For integration and vertical alignment for grades K-6, I love it. Thanks, whomever put this together. (If you happen to know the author, I would prefer to add a reference link.) Thanks! Mrs. R
