Buckle Down Time...

Its MAY ALREADY!?!
We're in the last month of the school year and it's time to buckle down and DO WoRK. Please leave me a comment on this posting or send me a short email updating me of your progress on your movies. I wish I could be there today, but I'm doing work at a conference on Web 2.0



Let me know how the filming of scenes goes today (extra LT FOR THE UPDATE)

Stay Tuned...

Students in CORE Charter School have been working on several different videos.

We were fortunate to be provided with multiple flip cameras which allow the students to create their own videos. More will be posted.

Stay tuned for the 1st Annual CORE Cinematic Awards.

ASK US, please!!!!

Mrs. Van Hout and I just returned from an awesome conference! Most of what I went to was on Technology & Innovation in the classroom.

Ask us what we did, we'd be more than happy to tell you...

Employability & Personal Narrative (storytelling)

Over the next 5 weeks, students in CORE Charter School will participate in unit which will examine 5 different areas:

1. Work Ethic






2. Communication




3. Collaboration

4. Critical Thinking/Problem Solving

5. Social Responsibility

Students will examine each area through personal narrative AKA storytelling. I'm hoping several guest speakers will come into our school and share their story. If you have any questions about what is going on- please let us know.

FIELD TRIP TO FVTC

On March 3rd, students in CORE Charter School will attend Fox Valley Technical College. The students will get a 1:1 tour of a specific area they've chosen.
Students in PM CORE who attend the field trip will not have classes in the afternoon.
