Creative Ways to Teach Common Core

How can I be creative in the classroom, since I have to teach the Common Core State Standards?  Well, it may not be as easy as it used to be.  But it can still be accomplished.  Think about what you would like to teach, and match it with what you have to teach.  Voila!  You've done it!  Can you still make artwork in the classroom.  Yes.  Just add some concepts from Math, Reading, or Writing.  Who can complain, when students are having fun and learning the concepts required?
