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.

European Microstates
Did you know that there are countries so
small, many of us have never heard of them? Five of the smallest countries in
the world are in Europe, commonly known as the European microstates.
Andorra
This country is in the Pyrenees, the mountain
range that separates France and Spain. It is a small principality, which means
it is ruled by a prince! It is about 470 square kilometers and has a population
of about 70,000. While Andorrans make up only about one-third of the
population, almost half are Spanish and the rest are Portuguese and French. The
official language is Catalan.
Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is also a
principality. It is the fourth smallest country in the world. Its area of 160
square kilometers is home to 33,000 people who speak mostly German. There is
great skiing here.
San
Marino
Founded in the year 301,
San Marino is one of the worlds oldest republics. It is the third smallest country in the world,
with an area of 61 square kilometers and a population of about 28,000. Its people
speak Italian and are very much like Italians themselves. Tourism is the main industry,
but banking, ceramics, clothing, wine, and cheese are also important to the
countrys economy.
Monaco
As the second-smallest country in the world,
Monaco is located on the Mediterranean Sea along the coast of France, not far
from the Italian border. It has a population of 32,000 and is only 2 square
kilometres! It is the worlds most densely populated country! Many wealthy people choose to live
here, most of them French or Italian.

City
Known as the headquarters of the Roman
Catholic Church, Vatican City is the worlds smallest country, measuring only 0.44 square
kilometres. It is located in Rome, the capital city of Italy. Although it is
