Most kids, including my own, have read the story, "The Very Hungry Catepillar" by Eric Carle.
Common Core takes the story to a whole new, ridiculous level.
"Pencils in hand and eyes focused on their work Wednesday, a group of second graders at Higley Unified School District's Coronado Elementary School carefully retold the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'....
The students...were taking part in Coronado's first 'Engage Wonder Day' on its South Gilbert campus.
The school launched the monthly program this year to build excitement about learning and engage students in the new Arizona state standards. The staff built each "Engage Wonder Day" this year around the theme 'Feast or famine: Can we solve world hunger?'
Next month, the Wonder Day is titled 'The Hunger Games.' Students will discuss nutrition, how to live off the land and survival skills."
They are aware that in "The Hunger Games" people killed each other for sport, right?
