Recently Glencoe got two feet of Cameron B. snow. The weather forecasters Annika C. predicted a blizzard, and for once, they were right. The Carly S. blizzard hit on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nobody could get Ava P. out of the house! We could not even open our front door! Charlotte N. The power kept going out. The snow kept coming and Beth F. coming. There was no school Wednesday and Thursday. Eden S. Carly L. Some snowdrifts were seven feet high! The snow was above Emily R. my head. Everybody was outside all day long for both of Caroline S. the snow days. It felt like a weekend! Two days later it was Jeff C. the weekend! It kept on snowing until Saturday.

Even though we all Lauren R. saved to the drop folder we still lost some great articles Moriah H. due to technological issues. This is the story of the Madeline S. missing files and the hunt to get them back. Mrs. Salzman Rachel G. and Mrs. Boggs went in to the drop folder to check on Marlee F. the articles- BAM! They could not find them. They were Sabrina H. gone! They asked Mrs. Feldman but she could not find Sylvia M. Mia H. them. Then they asked the awesome network managers to help them search. They searched forever but no luck. Mrs. Ted L. Rainer H. Boggs and Mrs. Salzman needed Mr. Rongey’s help and advice. He asked all the teachers to look on their Sam M. Sabrina M. desktops and in their documents to see if the missing files were there. No luck. So, now some of our awesome Sean H. Laura S. reporters had to start over. Luckily some of our writers Talia S. found their articles in their “trash”. It was a weird thing Matthew C. because it has never happened before. The show must go on! We learned that sometimes things happen but you have Editors: Bobby B. to work through it, keep positive and keep on going. Here Mrs. Boggs is to many more great Kidsview issues! Mrs. Salzman View Online at ‐ http://www.glencoewest.org/ Kidsview Issue #2 – March 2011 By: Bella M. Do rocks and minerals confuse you? Mrs. Widman’s class can give you all the answers because we have been studying rocks and minerals. We have studied many different types of minerals such as Feldspar, Calcite, Quartz, Gypsum, Fluorite, Graphite, Galena and many others. Together with our partner, we emptied an egg carton. In each slot of the carton we put one mineral. We have read about all different kinds of minerals (see above). On one of the last lessons we tried to match each mineral to its name. We read an article describing the rocks and minerals and then we looked in our egg carton and tried to match what we saw with the description. We did field tests with the rocks and minerals. A field test is when you figure out what the smells, texture, luster, magnetism, feel and the streak color are. To find the streak color you scratch it on to a black and white tile and whatever color it leaves behind is the streak color. To test for hardness you scratch a nail on the rock or mineral and if it leaves a mark then it is very hard. On the very last day we will be told the real names of the minerals. My partner and I compared our egg crate to another group’s egg crate. We have found out how the same mineral in our crate could look very different from the other group’s mineral. The minerals can have many different colors and sizes. We have had a sheet to record what we think each mineral is. If we get it wrong we will erase and fix it, but for now my partner and I are correct. We have learned how to do all different types of field tests to detect a mineral. The Chicago state mineral is fluorite. We have learned so many things to thank Mrs. Widman for and this is one. I can’t wait to learn about force and motion. By: Maya M. The Russell’s class is starting an electricity unit. They are taking wires, D-cell batteries, and mini light bulbs and putting those materials together to figure out many different ways to light the light bulb. To light the light bulb you need to connect the batteries in a circuit. Otherwise the light bulb won’t light. We learned about parallel circuits. This is when both of the light bulbs light. If you take one of them out the other bulb is still lit. Later in the year we will be using what we have learned to build rooms by ourselves that are wired by electricity. Here are some tips: do not touch the metal part of the wires and do not put 24 batteries or more together otherwise… zzzzz, you will get shocked! I have learned a lot during our electricity unit. By: Charlotte N. Have you ever wondered what is happening in Ms. Arsenijevic’s class? My name is Charlotte and I’ll tell you. Ms. A’s class is doing Chicago Smart Board research projects. This project helped us learn a lot about Chicago and also learn a lot about Smart Notebook technology. Ms. A gave us some information that was on a sheet of paper and we made another with the same meaning but with different words. The first person to present was Yael. She presented The Great Taste of Chicago. Then Claudia presented the Chicago White Sox. Charlie reported on the Science and Industry Museum. Hailey is doing the Ferris wheel and Martina the Columbian Exposition. Hunter is researching Soldier Field, and I studied the CTA El Train. What we did was this: First step: We chose our topic from an A-Z list on every important thing in Chicago. The second thing we did was to go on the notebook software and make slides about our research project. We did cool things to make it creative. And of course I loved it! It was so much fun.

The West Exchange was a project where you brought in two items. One item was to be donated and another item was to be traded. Mrs. Boggs told everyone to bring in their “knick­knacks” and their “brick­a­bracs”. That slogan must have worked because over 100 students donated to The West Exchange. The most popular item was the magic winning basketball from Mr. Sarubbi ‘s childhood. It went up for a raffle and Kalliope P. won! The exchange collection box was over­flowing to the sky. Students and teachers participated in this wonderful event that went down in West School history! West Exchange was a fun time and we got to re­use, share and care. By: Cameron B. West School has many activities for going green. The January West Exchange was a project where kids donated two or more gently used toys and/or books to donate to Paul Revere School and to exchange among the other kids at West. Most of the items went to the school, and the rest of the donated items went on the exchange table at the end of January. Anyone who donated got to take something from the exchange table! This was a great way to donate and a great way to re-use items. It was a lot of fun and really exciting. December’s Give the Earth a Present go green activity was a chance for students to put their green ideas in a box in the Green Corner. The box was decorated with newspaper and looked like a gift. There was recycled paper next to it. Kids wrote suggestions on the recycled paper and put them in the box, saying what they do to go green during the holidays. Mrs. Salzman and Mrs. Boggs read the suggestions at lunch. The November Green Gobbler activity was a mystery story to do. The story was about the Turkey Tetrazzinis and their family dinner. The story asks you how the Tetrazzinis went Green. Even though they were “turkeys” they used paper napkins and composted. February’s activity is Green Around The World You can check all the activities, see photos of yourself, videos and get green information at: http://www.glencoewest.org/GoingGreen/ By: Kinar P. Mighty Acorns is an interesting field trip. It is interesting because there are so many different things, from tall Indian Grass, to huge critters or deer. If you are unlucky, then you might have a run in with a snake. The prairie is very beautiful and big. We went to Somme Prairie in Northbrook, Illinois. It is a 90 acre preserve. We took the fuzzy stuff off the plants and collected it in bags.

  • Nothing but Sounds, Ink-Marks”—Is Nothing Hidden? Must Everything Be Transparent?
    Final version published in the Yearbook of the Danish Philosophy Association, 2018 “Nothing but sounds, ink-marks”—Is nothing hidden? Must everything be transparent? Paul Standish (UCL Institute of Education) Abstract Is there something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking? Philosophy sometimes encourages the all-too-human thought that reality lies just outside our ordinary grasp, hidden beneath the surface of our experience and language. The present discussion concentrates initially on a few connected paragraphs of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations (particularly ##431-435). Wittgenstein leads the reader to the view that meaning is there in the surface of the expression. Yet how adequate is Wittgenstein’s treatment of the sounds and ink-marks, the materiality of the sign? With some reference to Emerson, Stanley Cavell, and Jacques Derrida, my discussion explores how far a more adequate account of the sign can coincide with the claim that nothing is hidden. It exposes phony obsessions with transparency, which in a culture of accountability have had a distorting effect on education and the wider social field. It endorses confidence in the reality of ordinary words. Keywords Language, reality, expression, Wittgenstein, Emerson, Cavell, Derrida I want to pursue the alleged error of thinking that there must be something that lies beneath the surface of our ordinary ways of speaking about our reactions and responses to the world. A popular form of this is found when you are talking to someone and they say in response: “Just wait a minute while I process what you have said.” They are not, as their language more or less makes clear, quite reasonably telling you that they want to think over what you have said: they are informing you of a mental operation, a brain process that needs to be carried out before they can answer.1 There are 1 Such a response is familiar enough.

  • Modern Families
    1 Trends Shaping Education 2014 Spotlight 6 Modern Families Families in the OECD are changing. The nuclear family – mother and father, married with children –is becoming less common. The number of reconstituted and single- parent households is rising, families are becoming smaller and individuals are deciding to have children later in life, or not at all. Education plays an important role in supporting these modern families as well as traditional ones, and ensuring that learning needs are met for all. Love then Marriage? Over the past 40 years, marriage rates in OECD countries have fallen dramatically, from 8 marriages per 1 000 people in 1970 to only 5 in 2010. As can be seen in Figure 1, the decrease in marriage rates has been particularly pronounced in countries like Hungary, Portugal and Slovenia, where marriage rates declined by more than half in that time (OECD, 2011a). Furthermore, the average age of first marriage (29.7) has risen above the average age of first childbirth (27.7), signalling that more people now have children without getting married (OECD, 2014a). In the same time period, the average divorce rate in the OECD doubled from 1.2 divorces per 1 000 people to 2.4. This has led to a higher number of single-parent and step-parent families.

  • Gothic Taxonomies: Heredity and Sites of Domestication in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction
    GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English 2012 ABSTRACT GOTHIC TAXONOMIES: HEREDITY AND SITES OF DOMESTICATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH FICTION By Elizabeth M. Pellerito This project reads the ways in which systems of taxonomy and gothic novels, when read together, chart the history of nineteenth-century theories of heredity. By pitting Enlightenment empiricist and rationalist thought against gothic novels, literary critics have posited the two fields as diametrically opposed entities. However, I argue here that the gothic novel translates naturalists’ and taxonomists’ questions about species, applying them to the social, political and biological structure of the human family. The central term of the project, “gothic taxonomy,” refers to the moments in each of these disciplines, and in the exchanges between them, that describe failed systematizations, the simultaneous necessity and impossibility of nineteenth- century attempts to encapsulate the laws of hereditary transmission in a single set of natural laws. By reading taxonomy as a process with social and political consequences, this project provides much-needed nuance to the often reductive critical debates about hereditarians and their foes during the nineteenth century. Revising and complicating these notions forces us to rethink the gothic as a discourse that is merely oppositional in nature, existing only to challenge the narratives of Enlightenment. Reading the gothic as an interpretive model that actively unpacks the inconsistencies of systematization, rather than simply as a reactionary celebration of the irrational or the subconscious, allows us to read it as a discourse with a real contribution of its own to make to scientific debates about the biological and social role of heredity during the period.

    Information from HUMAN RELATIONS Human Environmental Promoting Sciences Extension ᮢ Family Strengths ᮢ ᮢ Kelly A. Cole, Extension Associate Janet A. Clark, Associate Program Leader and Associate State Specialist Sara Gable, Human Development Extension State Specialist Why are family strengths so important? In our society, families take on many different structures. Although they may be formed in different ways, most fami- lies accomplish similar tasks, such as childbearing, providing for members’ basic needs, providing emotional sup- port, socializing members, establishing family traditions and delegating respon- sibility. By accomplishing these tasks, families influence the way individuals and society function. Few other social institutions have such a great impact on society. This profound influence makes evident the importance of strengthening families. Family diversity American families are characterized by great diversity.
