Happy Valentines Day memories from long ago

Well on friday I did not get any candy lays like last year but there was a rally and to my delight I got to play knockout and lost. Knock out is a basketball game in case u do not know. Anyway Happy Vanities Day well a day early. I might post pics of what I do tomorrow on vanities day with my mom (as my two sister are playing V ball in las vegas with their travel team anyway happy V day everyone.

I remember when I was in elementary school I got to celebrate the holidays with my class ( I was complete mainstreamed in grade school) we would make little mailboxes and bags and everyone had the option to make valentines day cards. If you made some back in elementary school you had to give them to everyone which I think was preaty standard back then.

In sixth grade all the kids from my grade( I was in middle school) got to go to a party in the gym with the whole pod that was very fun.

A perfect example of Inculsion.

time 12:20 Augest 9 2010
place English classroom belonging to Mr T who is an general ed teacher a bunch of students inculcating AZ who has NVLD and CP making group work and public speaking hard for her to do.

Mr.T was talking to his students about Orthello and to start out the unit he was taking a abbreviated script for groups of three to act out. Mr.T knows how hard group work is for Az so he says that she is Director and has to find out the tone of the play. AZ loves the idea because he told her it is kinda like AP work( he also teaches to Senior AP- English) and she has always wanted to take. About ten minutes latter the class reconvines and he sits with AZ and togeter watch the play ( a actor who will remain nameless) got near the director but he moved back much to AZ's delight) Then Mr T asks AZ a question and she got it wrong but it dose not matter what matters is that Inclusion happened and she was one happy girl at lunchtime. Mr.T is genius





Why did it work: Mr .T knows that social stuff are hard for AZ & IT always ends in frustration of monopolizing the project. He also knows that Az loves a challenge and wishes that she was in AP. He put 2 together took the script and wrote tone on it in certain points for her to do while the others were practicing the same scene. He then helped check her work when she was done at his desks. The result is one happy well ran classroom and a kid who can grin and say that she was an director today and had fun doing a special job.

My friend is hurt

My favorite four legged friend is hurt. That would be my dog zoe. When book gal and mid sis gave her a bath tonight they asked me if I had noticed the limp earlier. i did not see the limp when I took her on a walk this morning. It is so bad Zoe is a very active little dog so limited mobility is going to be hard for her. If you can send her some prayers these next few days My family and I will greatly appreciate it thanks

Dreams are Dreams

since bear nessicties has worked

but tomarrow will be difficult because i have to go to work or else I can not go to basketball why n difficult because due to acting out once I now can not work in the afternoons which means I have to work during school hours missing two classes and my routine beng changed. I did not get to choses what i want to work at or when there are jobs after school with help so now i am going on a job hunt.

I am going to leave you with a poem

( me when I was almost three although I act three I am not three anymore)

Dreams are dreams

Teachers and job coaches

  I know you want the best

but what happens when you are gone?

  I have to have the ability

to go after my own dreams

and make my dreams live on

Everyone deserves to dream

clam what he wants

Dreams are dreams

goals or goals

satisfaction is satisfaction

but if you try to put people with disabilities into a mold

It like songbird dies in a golden change

A trap that I do not wish to fall into

I want no cage of gold

  I want to be as indecent as possible

so please will you try to talk to me

   I may feel frustrated

but please understand

It is due to the warrior spirit

I have had to acquire

to protect my own dreams

Dreams are dreams
