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. Can you
think of some more?
