Today's school kids are being taught a very different approach to writing than in years past. If I may date myself, "back in the day" your handwriting was an element of who you were. Remember once you learned cursive? Then stylized writing really took off. You'd practice for hours making your letters individual enough that you stood out, but not so much that your teacher wouldn't accept the work. Sloppy handwriting? Good luck getting THAT assignment accepted and graded! Times have certainly changed.

I've been doing the summer activities thing for a LOT of years, and every once in awhile I'm STILL surprised by what there is to do in our area! Today I discovered that Michael's (craft store in Davenport) offers a program called Passport to Adventure. This class costs $2/day and takes place Monday/Wednesday/Friday from June 16-August 1. Each week the kids take an imaginary trip to a museum and make crafts based on what types of exhibits are found there. Each day they make different crafts, so kids can go all summer long and always do new things. The first couple of weeks they'll "visit" the Field Museum and the Georgia Aquarium. These are the crafts that they're scheduled to do on the first day. Cost includes all materials and supplies. Pretty cool, huh? |
