BORACAY... SHOULD IT BE CLOSED?!

For the last few days & weeks, I have been questioned about the status of Boracay Island after the statement made by President Rodrigo Duterte about Boracay becoming a cesspool. There were lots of questions… Is it true? Will Boracay be closed? Should we cancel our trip to Boracay? What is going to happen to the workers in Boracay Island? Look at the pictures of Boracay, does it look like a cesspool? This is located at the West of Boracay and the water was tested by DENR to be safe for swimming.

In fact, certain breeds like Corgis and Pugs don’t swim at all. Find some quiet water and give your dog a chance to show you if he can swim or not by encouraging him to follow you. Never throw your dog in the water and expect him to swim. 2.  Drinking salt water is a bad idea.  This is logical, and yet getting Buster continues to try to lap up the ocean.

TIPS OF BRINGING SENIORS TO THE BEACH

Planning to Take Seniors to the Beach: Consider Important Tips for a Safe Trip Grandparents have arrived for a few days, and you are planning to take them to the beach for some fun time. Getting in the car and going on a trip with our grandparents is not the same as going on an impromptu weekend trip when we were in our 20s. A trip to the beach is not about what we want to do, but what others can do, and by this I mean grandparents and our senior parents.

Also, before going on a short trip in Boracay Island, select nearby areas that will not take lengthy travel times. The following are some important tips to consider when going on a trip to the beach with a senior loved one: Consider travel-time, distance and time of day; making a short trip would be a first good choice.

Character of a Good Reader Photo By: Times Higher Education A good reader actively thinks as he reads and Good readers possess the following characteristics:  Reads Rapidly and Accurately A good reader reads fluently. A child must progress from individual word decoding to automaticity -fast, accurate and effortless word identification. The ability to read words rapidly and accurately allows a child to focus on understanding the text – the ultimate goal of reading. As a child progresses, the evolution will lead to understanding the text as a whole rather than the individual words. When a child struggles with word identification, his attention is no longer on understanding the written text but rather identifying the word. Repeated reading (rereading the text for speed and accuracy) and modeled reading (hearing what it should sound like) are both great ways to improve fluency.
