Due to circumstances beyond our control, this class began at 10:30 and ended at 11:30. All participants are now apprised of the new class time (10-11:30) set by the school. We had 5 new learners. Most of the class time was spent welcoming the learners, having them spell their names, asking each other questions in round robin format, and having them take dictation. Then they asked each other about the dictation. All seemed to feel comfortable and indicated interest in returning on Thursday.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):We worked on introducing ourselves, and on accurate pronunciation of C and Z, and of B and V. It’s great to have more experienced learners in the class like Lupita and Adriana helping the “newbies”. We used store advertisement pages to practice finding items, naming them, and asking how much things cost; we had a dollar dictation; we discussed when we say “How much is” and “How much are”, and the sometimes strange difference between singular and plural, e.g.:” How much are the pants?” We named everything we could think of that we’d buy in a grocery store, and then wrote these down. Then I announced a special exhibit I’m docenting for, at the Oregon Jewish Museum, on Anne Frank, which has bilingual text in English and Spanish. We finished with How Much Is That Doggie in the Window, singing it, and going over all new words or words that are hard to pronounce.

This class began at 10:15 due to Laura’s announcements. Alphabet
Listen and Point was followed by Yell and Spell. Dictation (the lesson title) came next, followed by choral response. The learners engaged in a round robin where they asked each other their phone numbers. Several learners then told what they did over the weekend. All learners wrote down each shared story. Choral response followed after each dictation. We had 1 new learner in attendance. The learners all helped and encouraged each other. This class ended on time at 11:30.Lesson Title:Going Shopping

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We were moved to module room in back. I didn’t get to ask Laura if this will be permanent or just for today. Excitingly, we had two new learners, and two others came for the first time since last fall. We focused on a coin grab kind of activity, and practiced saying the names of coins and their values, and did a round robin of asking each other how much money we have.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class began at 10:05 a.m. After Alphabet Listen & Point then Yell & Spell we had dictation on the title of the lesson followed by a round robin on the dictation. One new learner attended. The camaraderie has been very strong in this class and many questions were brought up by the learners, who wanted to know the difference between various expressions they have heard, such as “Thanks” and “Thank you”. Next came another dialog which was first dictated, then modeled, then the learners practiced it in small groups. At times there was laughter among the learners, though they are very serious about their English practice. Class adjourned at 11:38.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Laura came and told me there would be a fire drill in a few minutes, at 10 am. So, class had to go outside with the rest, then come in, so we got started around 10:10. We did a ball throw with “My name is, your name is, his name is, her name is,” and practiced pronunciation and ease with conversation. We worked on a dialogue, “I love your___. Where did you get it?” which provoked a lot of questions as to the difference between it/this/that and these/those, and between get/buy and got/bought. We reviewed asking how much something is, how asking how much it is and how much it costs is usually the same thing, and finished with saying and singing How Much is that Doggie in the Window.

Learners asked each other their names and also recited the names of everyone in the room. Jane led Spell 5 using words related to the telephone etiquette module. This class ended on time, with the learners very enthusiastic to return.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):We practiced Good to see you, Nice to see you, You, too, and Likewise. We counted out loud in a group, by ones, fives, tens, and hundreds and worked on pronunciation. We used a coin-grab type of exercise to practice asking and answering How much money do you have? i have…. How much money does he/she have? He/ she has… and then, after amounts, worked on ways of saying: He/ she has a lot of money, and difference between he has so much money, and he has too much money; then we talked about differences tw/ How much is it? How much does it cost? How much do I have? and How much do I need? We finished by saying and singing Can’t Buy Me Love.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Liam joined us for the first time. Some of the class started asking when the last class would be, and that we should have a party and bring food, and deciding what each person would bring, so I turned this into a dictation, call and response and role play exercise. “Our last class will be March 19. Lupita will bring barbecue. Thelma, what will you bring?” Then, we did a dictation and role play about shopping and buying things, with a list I made of clothes and prices: How much is the shirt? How much does the shirt cost? How much are the socks? How much do the socks cost? The shirt is $25/ The shirt costs $25.The socks are $5, the socks cost $5, etc. We had questions about singular and plural forms, and also The socks are $5/ the pair of socks IS $5.

Class began at 10:10 a.m. After Alphabet Listen & Point a new form of Yell & Spell was tried for the first time with this group. Each learner spelled his/her first and last name quickly. This activity proved very successful. Dictation and round robin followed. Then the learners were divided into 3 groups and asked to correct the word order of 3 scrambled sentences. This activity both engaged and challenged the learners, several of whom gave David positive feedback on it after class. We had one new learner today. This class ended on time.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):We practiced writing, spelling, and asking each other our first and last names. For shopping, we used our scripts of Goldilocks to practice reading and speaking and then to move into a role play of: “Do you like the__?” “Yes, it’s just right! (or It’s so___)” or “No, I don’t like it.” “Really? Why not? ” “Because it’s too___” We used “Do you like that sweater” “No, I don’t.” “Why not?’ “Because it’s too small/ big.”Date and Location of Class: Feb 24, 2015, Rockwood Library

This class started and ended on time. After Alphabet Listen & Point we had Yell & Spell, followed by dictation and discussion of the term “maiden name”. We reviewed his/her name as well. The group then stood in a circle, each holding a card with an abbreviated direction written on it, and practiced directions. Learners threw a tennis ball while saying the direction they held. The final activity was division into 2 teams. Each team of 2 had 1 person reading addresses from a phone book which the other person wrote down. The learners encouraged & helped each other during all activities. A great sense of camaraderie has developed in this group.
