In this site you can access model curriculum supporting the state standards. You can select quarterly units or individual topics. These models provide sample that offer description, time frame, sample ideas, sample questions, vocabulary, resources. Individual models show the standards that will be mastered, gives instructional strategies, samples of instructional resources/materials that can be used, and even lists some common misconceptions related to the lesson. Unfortunately, it only provides for Language Arts and Mathematics but it could be a great base for creating your own plans in other subjects.
I think Weekly Reader is one of the best curriculum suppliment resources. I used it every year I was home schooling my daughter. One of the things I love about it is that it is always current. For example, one of our 2008 issues for children grades 4-6, discussed our process of voting for president and gave the children the opportunity to vote for president. It's not just for elementary levels either; it goes all the way to 12th grade.
