Cursive or No Cursive?
An interesting article!
The Case for Cursive
By KATIE ZEZIMA
Published: April 27, 2011
For centuries, cursive handwriting has been an art. To a growing number of young people, it is a mystery.
"The majority of students cannot write in cursive, nor can they read it. At the same time, their printing skills are awful. Not only is it difficult for me to read, they themselves often cannot read back their own notes."
The sinuous letters of the cursive alphabet, swirled on countless love letters, credit card slips and banners above elementary school chalk boards are going the way of the quill and inkwell. With computer keyboards and smartphones increasingly occupying young fingers, the gradual death of the fancier ABC’s is revealing some unforeseen challenges.
Might people who write only by printing — in block letters, or perhaps with a sloppy, squiggly signature — be more at risk for forgery? Is the development of a fine motor skill thwarted by an aversion to cursive handwriting? And what happens when young people who are not familiar with cursive have to read historical documents like the Constitution?

Summer Science Camp Offerings!
Environmental Science June 13 - 17th OR August 8 - 12th, 2011
Learn about the biomes and environmental health of the Chicago area by hiking and exploring 2 unique locations in our area as well as conducting a variety of hands-on lab projects designed to help students understand how our environment effects us and how we effect our environment.
Please plan on packing a ‘picnic’ lunch and plenty of water each day. Good hiking shoes and jeans/long pants are highly recommended each day. Plan on getting dirty! Families are welcome to join us when appropriate.
Who: students aged 10-18
When: 10-3:00 each day
Where: the primary location will be 5004 N Westwood Dr., Johnsburg, IL but we will also visit Volo Bog, State Natural Area and Glacial Park in Ringwood. Exactly where we will meet each day will depend on the weather (if it is over 90o or pouring we will obviously not be hiking that day!) so be sure to leave an email address or phone number where we can keep in touch daily during the class.
Cost: $80.00 per student
Attention Boy Scouts - Yes, this is an Eagle required merit badge. You will NOT finish this in one week because your observations should be further apart. The reports can be done during the week or afterward. We need to get blue cards filled out and signed before the first day of class.

Join us as we learn about the geological, biological, chemical and physical features we take for granted here in the ‘lakes’ region of Illinois. Weather permitting we will meet to make field collections at several locations in the lakes region and bring some of these collections back to Mrs. Wentz’s home to analyze the variety of microscopic life and the chemical composition of the water and compare and contrast our findings from location to location. A list of recommended resources will be provided the first day of class.
Please plan on packing a ‘picnic’ lunch and water each day. Good hiking shoes and jeans/long pants are highly recommended each day. Plan on getting dirty!
Families are welcome to join us when appropriate. Most of the sites we will be visiting have areas for children to play. Bowling and playgrounds are a short drive away from the Wentz’s home.
Who: students aged 10 - 16
When: from 10 - 3:00 each day
Where: Locations include Volo Bog (Ingleside), McHenry Dam (McHenry), Nippersink Creek (Ringwood), Lake Defiance (inside Moraine Hills State Park (McHenry) and Three Oaks Recreation Area (ie: Vulcan Lakes in Crystal Lake). Exactly where we will meet each day will depend on the weather (if it is over 90o or pouring we will obviously not be hiking that day!) so be sure to leave an email address or phone number where we can keep in touch daily during the class.
Afternoon lab work will be completed at 5004 N Westwood Dr., Johnsburg (2 miles north of the Johnsburg Library)
Cost: $80.00 per student
Drosophila (Fruit Fly) Genetics –
June 27, 28, 29th (and the following are flexible* lab dates: July 7, 8, 18, 19, 27, 28), 2011
We will spend the first few classes covering the basics of genetics and then, using that information, breed fruit flies with a variety of genetic differences. We will breed them through two generations. Each generation takes approximately 9-12 days to hatch as adults, hence the 'crazy' scheduling of the class sessions. This is a terrific opportunity for students who are ready for and enjoy detailed hands-on work.
Who: Students aged 14 - 18 (or with permission of the instructor)
When: The first three classes, June 27, 28, 29 will be 10 - 3:00 each day
All times and dates after that are flexible. *They are flexible because on some days two visits may be desired in order to secure only newly hatched adult females to breed. Female Drosophila can store sperm from their first mating throughout the lives, if you want to know who the father is you have to separate her within the first 8 hours of hatching (or you can contact Mrs. Wentz in advance and have her clear the vial of all adults and you can count and breed during one afteronoon visit).
Where: 5004 N Westwood Dr., Johnsburg (two miles north of the Johnsburg Library)
Cost: $120 per student (includes lab fees)
To register for classes:
All classes that require travel have a three student minimum and a 6 student maximum (unless a parent volunteer can help provide transportation – my van only has 6 passenger seat belts)
Contact Mrs. Wentz at 847-404-6418 or kwentz899261@gmail.com with your interest, name and ages of child(ren) and your contact information. Payment is required to reserve a place in class.
Payment can be made via PayPal (credit card), personal check mailed to 5004 N Westwood Dr., McHenry, IL 60051 or cash. Checks will not be cashed until the class begins.

Surveys Confirm Enormous Value of Science Museums, 'Free Choice' Learning
ScienceDaily (Apr. 8, 2011) — One of the first studies of its type has confirmed that a science museum can strongly influence the public's knowledge and attitudes about science and technology, and to a surprising degree can cut across racial, ethnic, educational and economic barriers.
The study focused on the California Science Center in Los Angeles, and offers profound support for the value of such institutions. It also reinforces the emerging concept of "free choice" learning, which holds that people get most of their knowledge about science from someplace other than school or formal education.

McHenry County College has "put on hold" future Homeschool Friday classes.
McHenry County College has, for now, decided to put the Homechool Friday program on hold.
The school has experienced huge growth in both the number of students and the number of credit classes it needs to offer to keep up with this growth. The coordinator of the classes is moving departments in the near future, the support staff situation is complicated, and they barely have a free classroom anywhere.
I do hope that they choose to offer these wonderful 'transition to college' classes again in the near future. In the meantime, I understand that both Rockford and College of Lake County offer classes for homeschoolers looking for that 'on campus' experience and I will continue to offer similar classes throughout the area. I hope you find what you are looking for!

Spring Science Classes at MCC start April 1st!
Environmental Chemistry Lab - part 2
This course, a third in the series of Physical Science classes, continues covering high school level Chemistry laboratory exercises and related discussions that will cover nutritional testing, distillations, solubility curves, and more - with an emphasis on biological and environmental testing when the weather permits. Students are expected to have had prior Chemistry laboratory experience and have already covered titrations and chromatography, possibly by having taken Environmental Chemistry I with Ms. Wentz. Students should be currently studying high school level Chemistry.
NKC S05003, 10:00-11:50, Fridays April 1-May 20st, $99
Register with credit card by calling 815-455-8588. Questions? Marie 815-479-7559.
Biology Lab - Anatomical Survey
This course continues our year long high school level Biology laboratory series with additional exercises and related discussions. This session's work will include lessons in lab safety and dissections designed to encourage a study of the structures, organization, and function of various organisms and how they relate to the human body. We will be dissecting the earthworm, crayfish, grasshopper, frog, and fetal pig with special attention to the brain and heart. Students should be currently studying high school Biology or Health.
