Fourth Grade Year Long Plan- ALL Subject Areas!

I just thought I would share this scope & sequence/ year-long plan.  For anyone teaching in Oregon, this plan covers all of your standards for math, social studies, science, reading, & writing for the year.  It will change a bit next year as we transition to the CCSS.  This is all you need for Oregon, but I'm hoping that bits and pieces of it will be helpful for those teaching in other states & countries too.  Let me know if you have questions or want clarification on things, as this is just the basic guidelines that we developed at our school for the 4 fourth grade classrooms.
