Dog and Cat
Once upon a time there was a Dog
and a Cat. They were spies. They
worked for a monkey named Sponky.
One fine day they were watching T.V.
when Sponky called. It was bad news.
Someone stole the biggest paper ball.
Cat and Dog went on the chase. Five
days later they caught the thief. It was
Ant. Cat and Dog received medals.
They were proud of themselves.

Common Core standards bringing more rigor to classrooms
By Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Schools
Parents of students in our
school system have no doubt heard
references to “Common Core State
Standards” over the past few months
and, though they may not have a
firm grasp of what that entails, the
initiative is critical to the educational
progress we are making in our
county, our state, and our nation.
The Maryland State Board of
Education unanimously adopted
Common Core standards in English/
Language Arts and Math in June
2010, joining more than 40 other
states to establish common goals
and expectations of students so that
they can be adequately prepared to
succeed in college and careers. The
aim of the standards, which are being
led by the Council for Chief State
School Officers and the National
Governors Association, is to help
ensure that from one coast of our
nation to the other, students have
access to the same rigorous, highquality education.
Educators from across Maryland
have been working on revisions to
the state curriculum to align with the
new standards, and the framework of
that curriculum was presented to the
State Board last June. It is intended
to be fully implemented in Maryland
schools in the 2013-2014 school
year.
In Anne Arundel County, we
are ahead of the curve in our plans
not only to implement the new
curriculum, but to use it to continue
our efforts to close the achievement
gap. Parents of current fourth- and
fifth-graders, for example, were
informed in January about changes
that will take place next year in the
middle school math curriculum.
While the math course offerings for
rising seventh- and eighth-graders
will remain the same next year,
course offerings for incoming sixthgraders will change. The current
Math 6 course will be replaced with
Mathematics 6 Common Core, and
a new course, STEMathematics 6/7,
will be offered to sixth-graders as
well in 2012-2013. Algebra I will
no longer be offered to sixth-grade
students.
In addition, some of the standards
that have previously been contained
in high school courses are being
moved to middle school courses.
While some course titles will remain
the same, the content of those
courses will now provide more rigor
to students at an earlier point in their
academic careers.
These changes will be phased in
Regional Assistant Superintendent change
for Glen Burnie, Northeast cluster schools
Schools in the Glen Burnie and
Northeast clusters will have a different Regional Assistant Superintendent overseeing progress next year.
Regional Assistant Superintendent Dawn Lucarelli will be taking a
one-year sabbatical to complete work
on her doctoral degree. During that
time, Raymond Bibeault will serve
as the Acting Regional Assistant
Superintendent for the clusters.
Mr. Bibeault has been a part
of Anne Arundel County Public
Schools since 1978. He has served in
many capacities, including as principal at Hillsmere Elementary School
and Brooklyn Park Middle School.
He currently is the Senior Manager
for School Improvement – Middle
Schools for Anne Arundel County
Public Schools.
across all grades over the next two
years, with everything in place by
August 2013. The intent is to move
away from a curriculum across the
nation that is “a mile wide and an
inch deep,” as the Common Core
initiative puts it, to one that is more
focused. We believe providing
incoming sixth-grade students with
the transition to the Common Core
math curriculum next year will best
support them as they proceed through
their scholastic careers and after
graduation.
The new curriculum in these
two subjects will require significant
professional development to
implement. In April, we held a
conference for educators across
our county aimed at addressing the
Common Core standards and their
impact on closing the achievement
gap.
Maryland has been ranked No. 1
in the nation for education in each of
the last four years. The work we have
done in our county has played a large
part in that ranking, and we are very
proud of it.
The Common Core initiative,
however, calls for us to aim even
higher and to strive to continue to
enhance the educational opportunities
we provide our children.

Las Normas Comunes traen más rigor a las aulas
Por Kevin M. Maxwell, Ph.D.
Superintendente de Escuelas
No hay duda que los padres de
los estudiantes en nuestro sistema
escolar han oído referencias sobre
“Las Normas Comunes del Estado”
durante los meses pasados y, aunque
tal vez no tengan una idea cabal de
lo que esto implica, la iniciativa es
crítica para el progreso educativo
que estamos haciendo en nuestro
condado, nuestro estado y nuestra
nación.
La Junta de Educación del Estado
de Maryland adoptó por unanimidad
las Normas Comunes en inglés/
artes del lenguaje y matemáticas
en junio del 2010, uniéndose a
más de 40 estados para establecer
metas y expectativas comunes para
los estudiantes, para que puedan
estar adecuadamente preparados
para triunfar en la universidad y
en sus carreras. El objetivo de las
normas, que están siendo guiadas
por el Consejo de Directivos
Oficiales de las Escuelas Estatales
y la Asociación Nacional de
Gobernadores, es ayudar a asegurar
que los estudiantes de costa a costa
de nuestra nación tengan acceso a la
misma educación rigurosa y de alta
calidad.
Educadores de todo Maryland
han estado trabajando revisando
el programa estatal para alinearlo
con las nuevas normas, y el marco
de ese programa fue presentado a
la Junta Estatal en junio pasado.
Está supuesto a ser implementado
por completo en las escuelas de
Maryland en el año escolar 20132014.
En el condado de Anne Arundel
nos estamos adelantando a nuestros
planes, no solo para implementar el
nuevo currículo, pero para usarlo en
continuar nuestros esfuerzos para
cerrar la brecha del aprendizaje. Los
padres de los alumnos actualmente
en cuarto y quinto grado, por
ejemplo, fueron informados en enero
acerca de los cambios que tomarán
lugar el próximo año en el currículo
de las escuelas intermedias. Mientras
que los cursos ofrecidos para los
alumnos que egresan de sétimo y
octavo grado permanecerán igual el
año que viene, los cursos ofrecidos
para los que ingresan al sexto grado
cambiarán. El curso actual de
matemáticas 6 será reemplazado por
Normas Comunes de matemáticas 6,
y un nuevo curso, STEMatemáticas
6/7 será también ofrecido a alumnos
de sexto grado en 2012-2013.
Álgebra I ya no será ofrecida a los
estudiantes de sexto grado.
Además, algunas de las normas
que fueron previamente contenidas
en los cursos de la escuela superior,
están siendo movidas a cursos de
la escuela intermedia. Mientras
que algunos cursos quedarán igual,
el contenido de éstos proveerá
más rigor a los estudiantes en un
punto más temprano de sus carreras
Cambio de Vice-Superintendente Regional para
los grupos escolares de Glen Burnie y Northeast
El año próximo, las escuelas en
los grupos de Glen Burnie y Northeast tendrán un Vice-Superintendente
Regional distinto supervisando su
progreso.
La Vice-Superintendente Regional Dawn Lucarelli tomará un año de
ausencia sabática para completar su
doctorado. Durante ese tiempo, Raymond Bibeault servirá como ViceSuperintendente Regional Actuante
para esos grupos.
El Sr. Bibeault ha sido parte de
las Escuelas Públicas del Condado
de Anne Arundel desde 1978. Él
ha servido en muchas posiciones,
incluyendo director de la escuela primara Hillsmere y la escuela intermedia Brooklyn Park. Actualmente, él
es Gerente Director de Mejoramiento
Escolar – Escuelas Intermedias, para
las Escuelas Públicas del Condado
de Anne Arundel.
académicas.
Estos cambios serán introducidos
en todos los grados durante los
próximos dos años, teniendo todo
listo para agosto 2013. La intención
es alejarse de un programa nacional
que tiene “una milla de ancho y una
pulgada de profundidad”, como lo
describe la iniciativa de Normas
Comunes, hacia uno que es más
enfocado. Creemos que proveyendo
a los estudiantes que ingresan al
sexto grado con una transición al
currículo de de matemáticas de
Normas Comunes el año próximo,
será el mejor apoyo para ellos cuando
procedan en sus carreras académicas
y después de su graduación.
El nuevo currículo en estas dos
materias, requerirá un significativo
desarrollo profesional para
implementarlo. En abril tuvimos una
conferencia para educadores de todo
el condado, para discutir las Normas
Comunes y su impacto en cerrar la
brecha del aprendizaje.
Maryland ha sido clasificada Nº
1 en la nación por su educación en
los últimos cuatro años. El trabajo
que hemos hecho en nuestro condado
ha aportado en gran parte a esa
clasificación, por lo cual estamos
muy orgullosos.
Sin embargo, la iniciativa
de Normas Comunes nos exige
apuntar aún más alto y a esforzarnos
a continuar mejorando las
oportunidades educativas que le
damos a nuestros niños.

Busting the Myths about Science
Myth #1: Science teaching
is better left to the science
teacher.
A parent is a child's first and
most important teacher. Parents play a very important role
and have the ability to significantly increase a child's interest and performance in science. With a little creativity,
you can work science into
your child's everyday life and
find many opportunities for
you and your child to explore
and learn together.
Myth #2: Science is difficult.
It would be difficult to know all
the facts of science. But science isn’t just facts. It’s a way
of seeing the world around us
and solving problems. Doing
science is for everyone! That’s
why “being scientific” is a
great family activity.
Myth #3: I'm not a scientist
and don’t know enough
about science to help my
kids.
You do not have to be a scientist to help your children learn
science. The majority of parents in this country are not
scientists, but it doesn't mean
they can’t help their children
learn science. Questions like
Why is the sky blue? Why
does ice float? Or how does a
Frisbee soar through the air?
are just a few examples of
science questions you can
explore with your children.
The most important starting
point is to ask: “Why?”
Myth #4: Science is all
about facts and not very
interesting.
SCIENCE IS FUN! Science
teaching today is a lot different
than it was years ago. Today's
emphasis is on inquiry, which
means children are encouraged to explore their own
natural curiosities about the
world around them.
Myth #5: Science requires
equipment.
Science is everywhere! The
skills of science can be practiced in any environment, including the kitchen or the
park. The best way to begin is
through conversation. Parents
who ask open-ended questions (ones that don’t have just
one “right” answer) and who
listen patiently to their children’s responses are modeling the most essential skills for
young scientists.
Myth #6: Science skills
should wait for reading
skills.
To encourage the “whole
child,” parents and teachers
should join together to foster
early science experiences
along with opportunities for
reading. In many ways, preschoolers’ developmental
skills are more suited to doing
science than reading. Learning about science also can
motivate children to read.
Book of the Month
Carver by David A. Adler
George Washington Carver's
life and accomplishments not
only represent the achievements of a minority scientist
but are examples of applied
science—what today we might
classify as engineering—for a
person of diverse talents. This
biography shows the many
influences in Carver's life,
from his early years through
his education. His ever-strong
thirst for knowledge motivated
him as he questioned, investigated, and invented.
Enriched by intricate color
drawings, the book emphasizes the significance of
Carver's innovations in the
lives of people in this country
and around the world. This
book was selected as an
NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade Book.
