Olivers Big SplashOne beautiful fall day, Oliver and his owner, Jeff,
went for a walk around the lake. They were
enjoying the sunshine and the lake when suddenly
a dragonfly flew past. For a moment, Oliver forgot
where he and Jeff were and what they were doing.
All of a sudden there was a big splash.

Will Students be Proficient?
Because the standards are more rigorous,
it will take students a few years to master
them.
