Common Core Conundrum

Common Core... it strikes fear into the hearts of teachers everywhere. We hate NCLB, but CC seems so complicated that it's hard to embrace it right away. What's a teacher to do??? 


We are departmentalized, so our principal is having each department present our anchor standards to the other department. We're not sure if we love her or hate her at the moment. (I wouldn't say that unless I loved her all the time!) Here's our Prezi to show to our comrades in math. 


I'm hoping to add music if/when I figure out how. I'm thinking some Bob Marley "Don't Worry".
