Jump Ball by Vicki L. Drewa Pdf

A.J. starts sixth grade with a big secret: She is too worried about her family falling apart to care about seeing friends and meeting new teachers. Jump Ball is the coming-of-age story about Adrianna, an athletic, artistic girl forced to grow up early and deal with serious issues. Over the summer, her parents came home drunk one night and had a terrible fight, ending with her dad hitting her mom, knocking her down and leading to a trip to the emergency room. A.J.'s dad was arrested, and the family, which includes her brother and grandfather, didn't see him for months. Her brother took off in the car, got high and crashed. He survived but was sent to rehabilitation. A.J., who always had a strong relationship with her brother and played basketball with him, even thinks about giving up the sport. A.J. must rely on her inner voice and strength to work things out. At times she stumbles, going down the wrong path. She starts to use alcohol and gives up on basketball. She takes her mother for granted, and her grades start to slip. But through court intervention, the help of her beloved grandfather and some counseling, she begins to straighten out. A.J. discovers talents she never realized she had and redevelops her love of sports. She is allowed to live with her father and brother. What does the future hold for Adrianna? Only she knows whether she has the strength to build a better life. In Jump Ball, author Vicki Drewa shows the importance of seeking guidance for life's serious problems. Instead of following a bad path on their own, those in trouble should seek help from someone they trust, whether it's a coach, guidance counselor, family member, religious leader or neighbor. Vicki Drewa grew up in a small town in northeastern Wisconsin. She fit in most when playing sports, starting with summer sports when she was 9. She played basketball from sixth grade through high school and was on the track team from seventh grade through college. Drewa was fortunate to have a coach from junior high through high school who helped keep her focused, showing her she could use her talents to move forward in life. After graduating from college, Drewa coached several teams in her hometown. A few years later, she moved to Chicago and earned a teaching degree. Drewa has been an elementary school teacher since 1999 and continues to coach.

Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders by Michelle Grenier Pdf

Current estimates are that 1 out of 88 children will be diagnosed with some form of autism. Planning a curriculum that includes all students, including those with ASD, can be a challenging task but well worth the effort. This book identifies strategies that highlight students’ skills, interests, and abilities though collaborative practices, environmental design, and assistive technologies. Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach • introduces the inclusion spectrum as a tool to help teachers analyze appropriate instruction for students, aligning abilities with curriculum and activity context; • provides information on tools such as scripts, video modeling, social stories, and choice boards to assist teachers in developing programs; • presents a variety of activities that teachers can choose from to help students with ASD develop social and motor skills; and • assimilates best practices from general and adapted PE as well as autism training and research that offer solutions for increased student engagement in physical education. Written by contributors with extensive experience in developing inclusive programming for students with ASD, Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach is ideal for physical education and adapted physical education courses across the K-12 curriculum. Part I provides an understanding of students with ASD that offers insights from parents’ and teachers’ perspectives. From there, the authors examine the application of the inclusion spectrum that helps teachers plan for appropriate instruction. Readers will also find communication and social learning tools they can use to minimize the stress students may experience while optimizing learning experiences. Assessment protocols assist with the development of relevant IEP goals and objectives. Part II contains individualized and group games and activities that enhance lifelong learning for students with ASD. Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach is a practical resource that helps teachers design optimal plans for including students with ASD in general and adapted physical education classes.

More Hometown Memories of Grinnell, Iowa by Dave Adkins Pdf

As a student of local history, I find Daves stories of old Grinnell very fascinating. We who lived in this era of the 40s, 50s, and 60s have some interesting things to share with others about our town and its people. His broad knowledge continues to amaze me. How he remembers so much from 50-70 years ago and is able to record it for the rest of us to enjoy is wonderful. If he wants to expand on a topic of which he is unfamiliar, he knows the right person to contact. Yes, he lives in Texas, but he contacts friends all over to help expand on his topics. Daves knowledge and expertise in basketball continued from his first book A Journey in Overseas Basketballwritten in 1997 through the first edition of Home Town Memories of Grinnell, Iowa in 2012 and now into the sequel ofMore Hometown Memories of Grinnell, Iowa.

Abby and Sarah are as different as two sisters can be, but they get along well -- that is, until they join the same school basketball team.

As the tension on the team heats up, so does Abby's intensity, until she's not only treating her sister poorly but her other teammates -- and the coach, too.
