Push Me!

Last week after class...I'd just arrived in Lexington and was on Man-O-War Blvd. Someone was making a left hand turn on a green light and forgot to YIELD to oncoming traffic - ME. He hit me. End of the story - I spend the rest of the evening and part of the morning in the emergency room and my jeep is totaled. I had to cancel class on Wednesday. If my foot is not any better by Monday who is going to come to the parking lot and wheel me to the classroom????????????????????

Those Video's !! and did I really Pass!

So I was watching those video's and I got to thinking that when I was in school I NEVER learned this stuff. I seem weird that three years ago I was in high school and all that I can remember is how to sneek off the school campus. And I was a good student and now I am finding myself questioning if the hard work that I put forth was really me working hard or if my teacher just let me slide. I mean have you ever thought about it?

Question about the Language Analysis

Mrs. White I have been meaning to ask questions about the language analysis. Does the project have to be on a child who has a language delay? and can it be someone we are related to as long as it is not our own chil? I have a nephew who has some speech trouble.

Since we are talking about....

Since we are talking about language communication and how they can be delayed. Someone emailed me this video talking about Autism. I highly reccommend it. It will change your perspective on life.

Tell me what you think.

Second Session

Hey Everybody! I have to agree with all of you that posted about the second class, I thought it was great too. I liked the fact that even though Mrs. White didn't bring her materials, the class still flowed very well. I thought the class discussion was great and that I left with more information than I had expected. Have a great rest-of-the-week.

Thanks Kerrie

Hey Kerrie, just wanted to say thank you for the info. If I find any of the material mind boggling I'll give you a holla!!!! Thanks again for your help!

This Day In History!

I always like hearing "This Day In History" on the news or on the radio, so I thought I'd share what I found out for today! On this day, in 1936 major league baseball inducted the first 5 memebers of the "Baseball Hall of Fame." Those guys were, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner and Christy Mathewson.

Just thought I would share a fun fact! Hope every one has a great tuesday evening! :)

Hey everybody, I actually had to miss class last night. Sounds like you guys found the class interesting. I don't plan on missing again, it was a freak unexpected thing that popped up. Did I miss anything REAL important? If I did please let me know!!!!! Thanks.

Creative Class

This class is so much fun and there are some really creative students. I can not wait to learn more cool stuff and see what other things you come up with to help us get the concept Mrs. White. Last night I was a little tired my terminally ill daughter has been fighting pneumonia for the past week so I get very little rest. I am usually not quite and I hope to rest up soon so my brain will start working full speed again. I look forward to the rest of the semester and learning everyone.

I'm a little late, but here I am!

Hello, everyone! My name is April Bolin. I am a single mom to a wonderful 6 year old son. He is the light of my life! He is in the first grade. I also have 2 shihtzus, Bailey (5 year old male) and Princess (6 month old female) and one guinea pig (Lola Belle). This is my 4th semester at EKU and I really like it. I am a LBD major. I volunteer at my son's school and I love being around children! They really make your day!

2nd class!

i really enjoyed class tonight..it went by so fast and i found mrs.white's teaching methods really interesting....they really allowed me to understand the topic...anyone else agree or what? :]

AND i agree with the post below me...the story she told about the boy in the hall in louisville definitely allowed me to sit back and take a look at how i react to things. i was in awe when she told the story as it seems now a days that people are so quick to attack back and majoring in lbd i wont be able to do that.

im excited for classes to come! [and possible handouts next time? ;]]

New thinking!!

Tonight I had an aha moment, when Mrs. White told us the story of the boy in Louisville, in the hall, I really saw a new perspective. Generally, when we as humans encounter a situation like that we, without knowing, tend to react harshly. I am an LBD major and Mrs. White's story has really given me a new way to react to that type of situation, that I had never thought of before. So thanks Mrs. White! You have helped me to see an alternative way to deal with misbehavior.

Class tonight...

Was very interesting. Being an O.T. major I know that I will come into contact with children that have special needs and sitting in class tonight made me realize how I can help them learn as well. It was a very eye opening experience and I'm so glad to have gained it. That made me want to accomplish my dream, even more!

Hurry, Hurry, Don't Delay!

Post your ideas here today!!!

Kind of worried

I know that I should have been on here earlier and that I it would have been better to post to other blogs if I was a little bit quicker, but like other students I am busy and still trying to learn how to manage my time. I am still a freshman now:)! But I was just seeing how everyones weekend(S) now I should say was? I was also seeing if there was any way we could have ideas of how to take notes. I am a worry wart and I dont know how to get all the information into the right format to study for test. Like some students I do not do well on test and was wondering if there was anyway anybody knew how to organize or keep there notes just to get some ideas.....thanks tons. Cant wait for class tonight!

Hello everyone! My name is NancyJo Abney (unfortunately, that is actually my first name, and I have a middle name as well). Anyway, my major is LBD, and I can't wait to start working. I have been married for 5 years and have a 3 year old daughter, named Zoe. Besides school, I am a stay-at-home-mom, and do title work for out car lot. So, if you need a car or need something notarized, I can take care of you. I am a sales rep for Kelly's Kids, if you don't have kids you probably have never heard of Kelly's Kids, but it is a brand of kid's clothes. I am very forgetful, no matter how hard I try, something strange and unlucky happens to me, and I am always late, and I am that scatter-brained person that will search for their keys with them in hand! I am also really bad with names, but I won't forget your face. I wish everyone luck this semester, and can't wait to get to know everyone.

This weekend was my weekend to stay with my grandmother, and when I stay with her I get a chance to watch a lot of Hallmark movies on VHS lol. Anyway, we watched a movie called The Boys Next Door which is about 4 mentally handicapped men that live together, and it shows their triumphs and heartaches. If you ever catch this movie on the Hallmark channel ( as corny as that sounds lol) you have to watch it!! It's wonderful!! Hope everyone had a restful day off!! See ya Monday!

I hope everyone enjoys their day off tomorrow!

about me

Hey everybody! My name is Preston King, and I am a senior here at EKU. It has took me longer than I would have wanted to get my degree due mainly because of military deployments. My most recent was a one year deployment in Iraq about a year 1/2 ago. I have a three year old son named Cody who is the coolest kid in the world. He makes me laugh every single day. I love sports and plan to coach football as well as teach after receiving my degree. Welp, thats just a little about me.
