About the
Common Core
The Common Core is a set of high quality academic
standards in mathematics and English language arts ELA.
In 2009 the state school chiefs and governors that
comprise CCSSO and the NGA Center coordinated a state-led effort to develop the
Common Core State Standards. Designed through collaboration among teachers,
school chiefs, administrators, and other experts, the standards provide a clear
and consistent framework for educators.
The standards were created to ensure that all students
graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in
college, career, and life, regardless of where they live. The standards define
the knowledge and skills students should gain throughout their K-12 education
in order to graduate high school prepared to succeed in entry-level careers,
introductory academic college courses, and workforce training programs.
Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four
territories, have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the Common
Core.

The Big Five of the Safari
Would you like to go on safari? The word
means journey in Swahili, the language of east Africa. This word was later
borrowed by wealthy travellers from Europe, who liked going to hunt animals in
Africa. Over time, the word safari became part of the English language, and the term big five came
about. It refers to the five most dangerous animals to hunt on safari. So, what
are the big five? The answers might surprise you.
Elephants
They are very big animals, weighing up to
6,000 kilograms. However, they can run up to 40 kilometres per hour! Although
they have poor eyesight, they must always be approached with caution.
Rhinoceros
These animals can be as heavy as 1,000
kilograms. They are shy and like to be left alone. If you bother them, they can
get really grumpy and unpredictable. Rhinos cannot see well, but they have
excellent hearing and a good sense of smell.
Leopards
At around 80 kilograms, leopards are smaller
than lions, but they are very fierce and intelligent. Leopards can leap 3
metres in the air, and can carry animals that weigh 3 times more than they do!
They have a keen sense of smell and hearing, and can see well in the dark. They
like to wander alone, most often at night.
Lions
These
are the largest carnivores in Africa. A male lion can weigh up to 230
kilograms, and its loud roar can be heard up be 10 kilometres away. This is why
we call the lion the King of the Beasts. Unlike leopards, lions like to spend their days sleeping with
their pride or group, when they
are not looking for food.
Water
Buffalo
These
are considered the most dangerous of all African animals. They are intelligent
and cunning and work together to fight against enemies and protect the weaker
members of their group. They can weigh up to 600 kilograms.
Fortunately,
when we talk about going on safari these days, we mean we are going to visit
Africa to look at the lovely beasts on this continent. We shoot them only with
our cameras. And lets not forget the other amazing
animals of Africa, such as the giraffe, the hippopotamus, and the wildebeest.

range that separates France and Spain. It is a small principality, which means
