This isn't a mandatory step, but if you are getting off on a dock, it's extremely recommended. Since the kayak is in water, one off balance moment can send you swimming. This gets you ready to follow the next steps. If you are going to get out onto a dock Swing your bottom out of the kayak onto the deck. Swing out your legs, onto the deck. If you are getting out on shore (shallow water, not on a dock, but ground.) Put one leg on shore. Stand up, putting most of your weight on the foot that is on shore. Put the other leg on shore. (Hopefully without getting too wet!)

One-sentence summary -- Secure the kayak with a tie line. Use the paddle to steady the kayak. Crouch. You are now out of your kayak!

Q: Being in love is about connecting with another person emotionally, caring for their happiness as if it was your own. When you love someone their fate becomes intertwined with yours. You may feel sad when they cry, get angry when they are hurt, and celebrate with their successes. If you can't wait to share good news with them or hear about their day, love is likely growing. This does not, however, mean that love is completely selfless. You should feel the same connection coming back to you as well. You do not have to like all of the same things in order to love someone. In many cases, having differences allows your love to grow, as you share and teach each other parts about yourself that the other person never knew. Disliking someone's taste in music, for example, does not mean that you cannot love them. Judgement, anger, or disrespect for each other's interests, however, may prevent love from really growing. When you allow someone to be exactly as they are, without any belief that they aren't good enough, without any belief that they would be "better" if they were different, you're in love. Loving someone is about accepting them as they are, loving them despite, or even because of, their faults. No one is perfect, but they don't have to be for you to love them. You may even learn more about yourself with this person, as loving them helps reveal truths about you that you might not have noticed before. If your love is dependent upon the other person acting and speaking how you want, then your feelings are conditional. We often confuse this with love, but this is just positive thoughts about someone. This is loving what a person says or does, not loving them. This is not just a turn of phrase: being in love actually changes your brain chemistry to "reward" you when they are in your life. If you are constantly thinking about them, missing them when they are gone, and finding ways to stay in contact with each other, love is likely blooming. This should be different, however, from obsession, when you think of them so much you cannot function on a day-to-day basis. This desire to be with someone sometimes manifests itself as a fear of losing them, which is a natural part of love. Love in the real world, contrary to movies and TV, is not eternal sunshine and rainbows. Even people deeply in love will fight and argue, from parents and children to happily married couples. However, loving someone is about appreciating them even when you disagree. Little arguments and fights don't push you apart, and you are able to work back to a common ground through careful communication. Even when you're angry or upset with them, you still love them, and these fights can often make you closer. Love doesn't go away in an instant after one bad day. It may fade eventually, but it takes a lot of time. Love is a feeling, not an action, so don't look at what you're doing as much as what your feeling or thinking about. Everyone has different needs and wants in a relationship, and that leads everyone to a different definition of love. What do you need in a friend or lover? What do you offer? Have you ever felt like you were in love, and what did it feel like? Love changes and grows with age: 20-somethings who just moved in together may have a different definition than a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary. This doesn't mean, however, that both couples don't love each other. If you feel like you are in love, and the feeling lasts several weeks or months, you are likely in love. Love at first sight, though romantic, is not a real phenomenon. Attraction happens quickly, as does infatuation, but love takes time to develop. Love is based on an understanding of the other person emotionally and socially, and such an understanding cannot be rushed. There is no "right" amount of time to fall in love, but you do need to be with someone long enough to feel like you understand them. Love is not just about sexual attraction or romance. Most people will happily admit that they love their families and best friends. Love is based on a deep relationship, a connection that lets you know you can trust someone completely. You understand them and they understand you -- not perfectly, but enough that you feel invested in each other's lives and happiness.
A: Know that you focus on someone else's happiness, not just your own, when you are in love. Know that you do not need to share all the same interests to be in love. Be yourself with the person you love and love them for being themselves as well. Know you may feel "addicted" to them when they aren't around. Know that loving someone doesn't mean you never fight. Ask yourself what love means to you. Know that love takes time to develop. Remember that not all love is romantic.

Article: " Create a visual for each character you can put on the floor. You can use half a poster board or an 18 by 24in (46 by 61cm) piece of construction paper for each character. The characters should have hands large enough that students can put items in each hand. You can make them slightly larger than your hands, for instance. Tell students a story about the characters to get their brains going. For instance, you can say that Even Steven loves things to be equal and always wants the same amount in each hand. Odd Todd prefers to not have the same amount in each hand. Have several plates of items, such as candy or flat glass marbles. Count out the items together, and ask students which character the plate would belong to. Once you've decided, have a student count out the items again, placing them in the character's hands. Have the child alternate between the 2 hands of the chosen character as they count. Then, count each hand to see if they're the same or not to decide if they guessed right. Let each student grab a handful of the cubes. At their desk, each student should pair up their cubes and then count up how many they have. Ask the students who has 1 cube leftover. When a student raises their hand, ask how many cubes they have altogether. Write those numbers on the board, such as "15," "19," "23," and "11." Write "odd" above them. Explain it's because they have 1 leftover. Ask for totals from the students who don't have any leftover. Write the numbers on the board, such as "16," "22," "8," and "12." Write even above them because they divide out evenly. Have the students put their heads down on their desk. Give them a number, starting with something small. Have students raise their hands for odd numbers or put their hands on their heads if they think it's even. This game is more to see how much students are comprehending, rather than to correct mistakes. After the game, you can go over the concept again. Keep getting bigger with the numbers to see if students have caught on to larger odd-even numbers. Get each student an index card. Write a number on each one, and below it, create the number using dots. In other words, if you write "8," you'll write 8 dots below the number. These are the "mystery" numbers. Have each student take a card. Tell them to pair up the dots, then decide if the number is odd or even. Tell them to write "odd" or "even" by the number. Once they decide, have them bring the card up to the front and place it in the odd bag or the even bag. Then, ask them to tell the class the number and why they think it's odd or even.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use the characters "Even Steven" and "Odd Todd. Have students pair up cubes or other small objects on their own. Play a heads-down game of identifying odd and even. Try an even-odd mystery game.
