I hope everyone had a great summer! Over the next few days, Mrs. Van Hout and I will be meeting with each of you to discuss what you'll be working on during the first quarter.
Both the AM & PM group will start out the year examining non-fiction text. Difficult and controversial issues such as the death penalty, incarceration of juveniles, and the war in Iraq will be addressed. I am going to introduce the death penalty during the first few days of school. Students will select other topics to investigate. Student's will engage in debates with their peers, analyze journal articles, and create a project to present to the class. Sensitive controversial topics will be covered. As with any assignment in CORE Charter School, students may opt out and request an alternate assignment. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
CORE Charter School received 75 new books over the summer. Students will have an opportunity to craft their own learning plan, and I feel confident in the curriculum which will be provided to each member of CORE Charter School.
Please continue to regularly check the blog for updates!
