Good day fair maidens of the LBSC program! I must apologize for the lack of "keeping in touch" on my part. I am still unemployed, and am most likely looking at being a stay at home dad for a little while. I wanted to ask Amanda about that U of I online program for Library Media. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for! Hope all is well with everyone! Aaron is gaining tremendous amounts of weight - 12 lbs @ 4 weeks...now he's in his sixth week, and unknown weight.... Take care...

Thanks Amy, I was just coming to do this...also there is a program with Portland State University, but I didn't get time to look it up. Also, try doing some independent studies with Nancy...this class I'm in now is GREAT, however it could very much be done independent study (especially with a little baby around).

 

P.S. since our posts were getting long I made a June Posts page and linked it to this...hope everyone is doing well. I would love to get together with everyone before we leave...

 

Any good books lately?

Thank you both Amanda and Amy. Do you know if both the Idaho and Portland endorsements are fully recognized in Washington?

Good News!  Amy and I passed the Praxis with flying colors!!!!!!  Way over the passing score of 600.  Which is good news for everyone, because with Amy's notes and study guide there is no way you can't pass!  I gave mine to Joanne and Darlene--so an arm wrestling battle might be in order!

 

Item #2  Darlene, Joann, and I are having dinner at Europa (125 S. Wall--right across from downtown EWU building in Spokane) on Monday (July 16th) at 7:00pm.  Come and join us!  They have fabulous drinks and food.

 

Come, catch up, and wish me a happy 30th birthday!

Just wanted to add to the YIPPEE that we passed. I ran around my house screaming like a mad woman I was so excited.  Like Amanda said ladies, just study what we gave you and check out those blogs that Nadean put on the Wiki.  You will do great!

 

Does anyone watch Big Brother? I had to laugh when I logged on to cbs.com/bigbrother the other night to get caught up...they are promoting this awesome new tool to converse with other BB fans, find out about the houseguests etc.  Any guesses...it's a WIKI!  We are WAAAAY ahead of the game folks! :O)

 

Justin, I am not absolutely sure that those programs are recognized by Washington but a gal that I took the Praxis with who teaches at CV is going through U of I. I am assuming that she checked it out.  I would give OSPI a call to double check though before you fork out any money.

 

Take care folks...Amy

Praxis register page...I think you need to make an account first.  The www.ets.org site has been having issues, so try this route.

Had a great time last night...I'm eating my delicious leftovers right now!

Thanks Amanda!  I am registered for the next available test on Sept. 8.  Missed the August deadline.  That's the website I used but I did a search for Praxis Test - Washington State and arrived there.  Then went to online registration for anyone interested.   Enjoy your leftovers.

Glad to hear your news-- no word on jobs yet? 

I am glad your summer class is going well.

I had great trips to Rogue River, Oregon Coast, Mt. St. Helens and then Banff. Last Tuesday I went in for surgery and I am at home recooperating well-- better than expected.

I  loved Water for Elephants and this Wed. July 25 at 6 pm I plan to participate in ALAN bookchat with Laurie Halse Anderson.

 

Congrats Amy and Amanda on Praxis testing-- I was confident in your abilities so I'm glad it worked out!

 

Nadean

 

Hi everyone!  To those of you I haven't seen in class this summer, I hope your summers are going well.  Nadean, your travels sound delightful.  I also wanted to let you know about a petition to save the library positions in District #81.  It is online and easy to sign.  First, you do a search using GoPetitions.com.  Then you type in on the Quick Search box on the top right hand corner of the page - Spokane Schools and it should bring you to the petition.  If you don't get there give me a call and I can help.  Hey! Let's see if we can get together again before Amanda takes off for Walla Walla. Bye for now.

Hello!  I just spoke with Pam and she got the Trent job!  It was opened in building and so no interviews were necessary.  She is unable to post to the Wiki as her home computer is having issues.  I thought I would pass on her good news:)
