I see a face can you?

Isabella and I are looking forward to taking part in this year’s  BC Alternate Education Association 26th Annual Conference named Challenge & Change 2013 With our presentation The truth about reading isn’t black or white We have tailored our presentation to this year’s theme Challenge & Change Isabella  and I have created A different way is ok.

The only B in climb should be the bee stings your behind

I say I cannot forget

each instant

all aspects

what I wore

who was not there

thing I saw

people I met

if it was sunny and hot

or if it was raining a lot

Before

you surrender your sole if you allow someone to exert there authority over you

After

If you allow someone to exert there authority over you it can be helpful with positive results

Feelings you say,

Can just float in the air

Even though they exists

We pretend they’re not there

Feelings you say,

Help us rise up to wonders

From laughing out aloud

To howling like thunder

Feelings you say,

That we choose to ignore

Can tear us apart

And hurt us much more

Feelings you say,

Get mixed up with pride

Tangled with sensitivity

“Who would not want to hide”?

Feelings you say,

Come straight from the heart

They define our compassion

And set us apart

Feelings you say,

Shared a bit at a time

With respect and attention

Can be put behind

Feelings you say,

Can just float in the air

If I tell them to you

I know you will care

The flowers are gone but the vase is still there

Along side the cards of love and care

The vase is empty but the ribbon is still there

Now it shimmers and shines as it ties back my hair

My heart is broken but it is still bursting with pride

As my friends gather around me and stand by my side

I have a secret that I am ready to tell it is about people like me that do not read very well

“Rosa’s Law,” which changes references in many Federal statutes those currently refer to “mental retardation” to refer, instead, to “intellectual disability”

Alternative Learner

The IAAL has requested that the BC Ministry of Education adopt a new description for people with an alternative way of learning and considers the terms “allotrilexic” or “alternative learner” to replace “learning disabled”.

Learning Disabled

When I had a learning disability I could not read, now that I understand that I have an alternative way of learning I can read.  I just do it in a different way and in my experience different is not wrong or a disability.
