1. Do the students attend Specials classes based on their actual grade level, or do they attend classes at the level in which they can most actively and successfully participate?
2. How do you accommodate/modify units on recorder, guitar, etc?
Had a heart stopping experience at the water park yesterday when I saw an unsupervised toddler topple head first into three feet of water I ran over there jumped in as I yelled lifeguard twice before she saw I needed help. He was floating head down towards the bottom - it was terrifying to see this. He started crying almost immediately so I think I got there in time. Because no one was watching him and once he went in the lifeguard would have had a blind spot, if I hadn't noticed his toddling around, I know he would have drowned. I looked it up later and it said toddlers can drown in as little as 20 seconds. I never did see an adult so I don't know if those parents even know how close it was that their son died. This wasn't a matter of a parent being distracted for a minute. This child was clearly being neglected. My observation skills of watching all children at once served me well. I stopped shaking about an hour later but it's neen difficult not to keep thinking about it. I just happened to be in a he tight place for that little boy.
Most of the riders in my club ride the roads instead of trails but I like both equally well. We older folks tend to be the ones who utilize the trails. I like that they tend to be less likely to have less stuff like gravel and sticks on them.
Sounds like a fun ride for you! I am still a bit stiff from our ride Saturday. We are increasing to the 20 to 30 miles now. Week after next - the dreaded hill practice. The kind that some are at the lowest gear halfway up. Throw in excess heat like last year - yikes!
Elaine/ret/INMen--yes, it was the Rochester-Kokomo trail. We've now ridden most of it. What's left is the southern part into Kokomo. Come to Indiana and ride with us. (You'll be braking all the way--speed is not our forte. Ha!)
