    We learned about the different kinds of apples local to Oregon, even having the students pick which apple is their favorite in a dialogue. Also played apple Bingo! which was very fun for the students. A very lively class with great connection and engagement, even with the chaos of having such a full class.

    The learners were challenged today by having a different MC, which helped to keep them on their toes throughout the lesson. Class was smaller than usual, with two new learners, but that helped to bring the class together to help each other out throughout the lesson.
