While searching the web the other day, I came upon the BEST site. I know not everyone (Texas and VA) has adopted the Common Core State Standards, but the majority of the country has! This post is for the rest of you. I happened upon The Curriculum Corner. This website needs to be added to your list of favorites.
I am just in awe of the resources they are providing teachers! They describe the site,
“The development of www.thecurriculumcorner.com stems from our dream to create a site where busy teachers can go to find current, relevant, meaningful and ready to go lessons and activities that fit their classroom structure and meet these common core standards.”
Be sure to check out the “I Cans” of the Common Core for each grade level. Thank you to Jill and Kathy for making a site like this! THUMBS UP from Leach’s Literacy Training! 
I'm definitely going to check this one out. I'm one of the Texas teachers that keeps hearing about Common Core, but I don't have much insight about it. I'm your newest follower.
P.S. I was an army brat!
