The Weekly Jr. Oiler
October 4, 2019
A Visit from The Red Arrows
Students experienced a video presentation as well as hearing from pilots and engineers. They showed us great pictures from their North American tour, including flying over the Golden Gate Bridge and HB Pier. Two of my favorite facts that I learned from them are: they all wear "anti-G trousers" which help keep blood from pooling in their legs when doing aerobatic maneuvers, and height and weight have nothing to do with specifications for being a pilot. One of the most important metrics is the length from the hip bone to the knee due to the ejector seat.
It is certainly a great week to be a Jr. Oiler and a Huntington Beach resident!

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month
For the third year, the HBCSD Board Members passed a resolution to recognize
Dyslexia Awareness Month in October. HBCSD is continuing to raise awareness
through sharing information on the website, Constant Contact notifications at the school
site, professional development for staff, and the West Orange County Consortium for
Special Education Community Advisory Committee.
The International Dyslexia Association (IDA) provides the following definition of
dyslexia, which was adopted by the United States National Institutes of Child Health and
Human Development:
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
Below is a link to the new California Dyslexia Guidelines prepared by the California
Department of Education in August 2017 and revised in October 2017. This is a rich
source of information including describing dyslexia, assessment, and best practices to
support students that are struggling with dyslexia.
