Here is the first link that I had promised I'm excited to start using it this Curriculum this school year. Please just take from it what you are able to use. I am using some of this info and implementing other resources. I may be posting a little at a time but eventually I'll get the hang of this. Thanks for your patience.

These are some others that I found, I know it seems overwhelming but trust me, do a little at a time, this is the result of going deep which I mentioned in my second blog.
