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 Fox and the Little Red Hen
Once upon a time there
was a little, red hen. She lived in a little white house and she had a little
green garden. Every day she worked in the house and garden.
Near her home lived a
family of foxes. One day Mamma Fox said to Papa Fox, I want a fat hen to eat. There was nothing in the pantry for the baby foxes, so Papa Fox
went to find something for them.
He ran down the road
until he came to the woods. Surely I will find something here, he said,
but he found nothing to eat in the woods. As he came near the little, green
garden he said, Oh, I smell fresh cake! Oh, I smell a
little red hen!
Sure enough, there was a
little, red hen eating her cake.
Papa Fox snuck up
quietly behind her, grabbed her, and put her into the bag on his back. Then he
quickly ran down the hill toward his home.
The Little Red Hen was
so frightened that she could only whisper, Oh dear, oh dear.
Then she remembered her
scissors. She took them out of her pocket and cut a little hole in the bag.
Looking out, she saw a big hill ahead all covered with stones. As Papa Fox
stopped to rest on his way up the hill, with his back turned toward her, she
cut a big hole in the bag and jumped out. Then she quickly put a big stone in
the bag in her place.
As Papa Fox kept on
going up the hill, he thought the bag was pretty heavy, but he said, Never mind, she is a fat, little hen.
Mamma Fox met him at the
front door with all the baby foxes.
The water is boiling, she said. What have you got in your bag?
asked the baby foxes.
A fat, little, red hen. said Papa Fox.
As he held the bag over the pot, he said to
Mamma Fox, When I drop her in, you put
the lid on. So he opened the bag. Splash! The boiling water
went all over Papa Fox, Mama Fox, and all the baby foxes. Never again did they
try to catch the Little, Red Hen.
