Class

Alice,

I really enjoyed class this semester. I really loved the way we got to learn in different ways. I also enjoyed the different guest that got to come. I hope everyone has a great Christmas break.

*Get Your Break On*

Hey people. I hope everyone had a not-too-stressful finals week. (haha, I know, right?) But no worries, because it's all over now. You can all go home or wherever it is you go and relax! It's been wonderful sharing in this blog with you all (as well as in class) and I wish you all a wonderful Holiday Break! Get rested, eat great food, make snow angels, drink hot cocoa, and just chill a while. It's Christmas people. But whatever you do, be safe and have a fabulous time!

*Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!!!*

Teaching

I just wanted to say that Mrs. White I had a great time during this semester in your class. I really liked how it wasn't lecture all the time every night. I really liked the interactions we made with our classmates b/c i feel as if I learned more through self exploration. Thanks for all the knowledge I have gained through your class on developing language and the passion for teaching. I will alwasy remember the first night of class when you said the average teachers are on this side of the room and the teachers who excell are over here and that you wanted us to all be on the excelling side.

Merry Christmas

Hello, well the semester is over finally tonight for me! I just wanted to say that the final wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Hope everyone has a happy holiday season and save travel back home. Good luck on other finals!

I just wanted to say good luck to everyone on their finals. I also hope no one had as much trouble with blackboard as I did. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

happy holidays

Well i just took the final it wasn't so bad!!! the questions were very opinion!! so i hope everyone does good!! have a good safe break!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Passion for Teaching

Mrs. White,
I don't believe I have ever had an instructor who was so passionate about teaching. I am not speaking of when you nearly teared up when talking about personal experiences. I am referring to the way you insist that we teach children for the RIGHT reasons. For the children. I have not seen this kind of caring for students. I was in awe of how you really care about the children and how you get to the essentials of teaching.

I enjoyed class tonight!! it was sad that it was our last!!! and so few people came!!! but other than that good luck to all on all of ur finals!!!! hope to seee u all next semester!!!

Final is Posted!

Ok, folks. Your final is posted online. You can take it whenever you would like. It MUST be completed by Friday.

It is VERY important that you read the instructions on the test. There will be some questions that you are required to answer. There will be other questions where you will have a choice which ones you want to answer.

If you do not answer ENOUGH your grade will not come out correctly. Be certain to also answer the FINAL question which is marked BONUS. It is what will make your grade show accurately although you did not answer all questions.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS...WHAT SHOULD YOU DO??? 859-338-4822 Don't hesitate to do so. It is too important to NOT do it correctly.

See some of you tonight.
Mrs. White

PS You honor and humble me with your comments here. I plan to respond to each one personally. However, I have to get your projects graded first. No time for me to play on the blog ;).

FINALS WEEK!!

I just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their finals!! Hope everyone does great and have a wonderful Christmas Break!!!

Assistive Devices

I was really excited to actually get to play around with the assistive devices. I had read about them and saw pictures of them in other classes but never got to try them out. I think that was a great experience and it will helpful in my future work!! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I wanted to wish every one a MERRY CHRISTMAS, Happy Holidays, or what ever you celebrate enjoy your Holiday Season!!!

I hope you each get some REST over Break and get to enjoy some time with Family, Friends, and the ones you love most!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Few Thoughts...

WOW!!! This has been a really CRAZY class for me!!! I was sick for several week and had to miss out on class do to surgery!!! Working 2 Jobs and being a single Mom is not always easy. But, life is not always easy. Things make us STRONGER!!!

I just want to post a few things about Mrs White...

She is a WONDERFUL teacher!!! She has truly taught me so much, and I will agree with others comments, She is VERY strong. She has helped me keep going. She did not keep up on me, and had faith that I could keep going in this Class. She has be SO willing to go the extra mile and Help me when I was sick. This is a TRUE teachers heart!!! Caring for your students, even when life is crazy, or having ill family members, or son's having surgery, you still find time to care about your Students. This is what I strive for!!! Thank you Mrs. White for teaching us so many things, but most importantly to CARE, and to have Heart, and to Keep Going!!!

I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!!! you will stay in my prayers!!! and I look forward to maybe having another class with you in the future!!! See you on Monday!!!

The end is near!

I know if you are all like me it is helpful to just hear it...so...here goes...the end is near!! It is actually in sight. we just have one week left. Hang in there!

Mrs. White

This has been the most difficult semester of my college career. With the passing of my aunt, my cousin, the breakup with my boyfriend of 4 yrs, and getting mono...this class has been one of few to not make things more difficult for me. I can just openly send my gratitude to Mrs. White and the rest of the class for this. I took away more from this class than I did any of my others.
Mrs. White, You have shared your heart, your passion, all of you this semester...we have cried..we have laughed...we have gotten through this semester together...I thank you so much for all that you do..and all that you have taught me.

Mrs . White

THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT TEACHER!! I hope that you have a wonderful holiday season :) I also hope the in the coming weeks that you all have some good weeks!
Thanks for your dedication because you could have easily said that you did not need to class but you didn't I really appericate it. I really wish that I could be in class on MOnday for the review and such but some things have happend so i'm going to stay at home in Louisville except the days when I have in class finals!
Thanks,
Rebecca

End of the Semester Notes

I don't know the rest of you, but this has been my favorite class this semester. With all sincerity. Having a teacher like Mrs. White has been truly inspiring to me not only as a teacher but as a human being. She has shown us that it's okay to be human in the classroom. It's okay to laugh and joke, it's okay to preach sometimes, and it's okay to share a tear if the situation arises. That's the real-life teacher I want to be someday. Passing on knowledge to little minds while being human enough to connect with kids in a way they might not connect with other teachers.

Mrs. White's enthusiasm and dedication make me so anxious to get the technical stuff over with and get out there and start teaching!! I know that's not possible, because of course, they go hand in hand. But nevertheless it makes me want to do it right and do it well. And I just can't wait to see what kind of educator I blossom into in the near future.

It has been wonderful sharing this class with you and using this blog to get to know some of you. This has been an incredible experience and I'm sad to see it end so soon. I wish everyone the best in teaching and finding their own way. To all, Have a wonderful holiday break!!

End of Class

Professor White,
First off i want to say how amazing you are! You are such a wonderful person on the inside as well as the out! I have enjoyed your class and have learned so much, more than what i had expected too. Your a great teacher and just wonderful. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well as a Happy New Year, and i hope everything goes well with your husband. You and him are in my thoughts and prayers! I will miss you tons! :)

To Mrs. White

As I watched you on Monday, I could tell you were trying to fight back tears and remain postive for us. That is the kind of dedication that makes a wonderful teacher, one that sets the kind of example that makes me realize that this is my calling. Since I have started my college experience (more than five years ago, lol) I have had all kinds of professors, the kinds who could care less about me or my situation, the ones who became my friends, and ones (like you) who view their students as future collegues. I will admit that at first I was a little afraid of your blunt style of teaching, but I have learned so much in your class that I quickly realized that you did not view us as merely your students, and that you expected us to learn to our fullest potential. I just wanted to say that I got a lot out of your class, and that I am praying for you and your family. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, it was a pleasure being in your class.

Learning Styles

I was just curious if anyone else took the time to take the learning styles quiz and what was your results. My result was auditory 45% and visual 35%. I would say that the quiz is accurate. The more times I hear or see something the better I learn. Everyone learns in different ways. As teachers are job is conduct our classes so that we meet all different learning styles for student learning.
