    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was my first paid class and first time teaching at Hall Elementary. I had 9 students. I was surprised to see one of my college classmates, she showed up around 6:30 with her family. Her family stayed for the class and she left. It was an incredibly interesting and useful class for the students, I feel that they’ve learned a lot of new and useful information. I felt an incredible amount of energy and engagement.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was a very good class, I had 12 students. I changed tables this time, I made one long table and all 12 students were at the right spots which brought a lot of engagement and connection. I know square long tables are not so effective but it works so far for me.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was a great class. I had 10 students. Students were incredibly engaged and connected. Again I experimented with the tables, made them separated and I think it worked out well but I still believe that one long table is better than two separate in this class.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class started a little bit late due to no students, it started 5 minutes late. Then students started showing up and eventually I end up having 8 students. the class itself was great. We had a lot of fun with the Listen and Point activity with a map, mainly because of the phrase ” Here it is ” because it was challenging to say that. I suggest with a lesson and point activity when students find what teachers said to find and point to, to say, “here it is” first asking each student “where is it?” then each student goes “here it is.”

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I think I had one of my best classes at Hall Elementary so far. We practiced a lot of real world materials related to maps and addresses. We did a decent amount of dictation which for some reason brought laughter, Students were very connected and very open to each other. A lot of talking and banter in English and Spanish among students. It was very fun to see them laughing. I had that magic moment when I froze looking at them and I said to myself “this is an amazing atmosphere right now”. One of the students is sick but she still comes and I said to her that I admire her dedication to this classes.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was a great class. I had an unexpected guest who was very nice. She wanted to learn techniques of teaching and generally is interested to teach English. She seemed to like the class and if I got it right she wants to join the program. The class itself was fun. I went over Alphabet sheet, yell n spell, dictation using my cell phone, TPR, round-robin. Students were engaged and connected.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): it was a great class. One new student. Students seemed to enjoy learning names of plants and being able to see all of the invasive plants pictures was a great opportunity to recognize some of them. A student recognized some of the plants like “morning glory” she said that the morning glory grows in Mexico too. lots of laughter. Unfortunately Gail won’t be able to come to our classes anymore, she got very busy. But she said that she enjoyed being in my classes and that she has learned many techniques and many useful information. Thank you Gail!
