> Hi Christine,
> Welcome to the Alice community!  I've used Alice with your age group but for shorter periods of time.  I've done a 2-week instructional unit after which the teachers (who had graciously welcomed me into their classrooms) followed with a third week where students created their own stories/games.  Materials for that can be found at the first link below.  I've also done some summer enrichment programs and those materials can be found at the links below that.
