What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today Cecilia completed her gentle intervention and did a great job! Along with dictation of some relevant vocabulary, we spent time with the document “A Brief Timeline of U.S. Policy on Immigration and Naturalization”. First, learners found words and phrases followed by choral response. Next, we found specific years then had various students read the associated sentences aloud. We finished the day with a video about deportation policy.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Alphabet listen and point, yell and spell name, dictation progression, and then document search. Ben had me call out a few words for the class to find, he was good at including the DJ in the lesson. Then we continued on with dictation progression. This class seemed more shy than usual and was not participating in the choral response as well as we would have liked. Ben then had each student say the sentence and it worked really well. I intend on using that in some of my lesson plans in the future. Overall the class went very well, Ben thought he could have been more prepared but nevertheless it seemed to work out well.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We welcomed back a learner who was in her home country for 4 months. It was so nice to see her and the other learners were giving her hugs. I dictated short sentences about the connection between what we fuel our bodies with can help prevent diseases. I passed out a photocopy of a plate with fork and knife divides into sections. Learners guessed where each food I called out belonged and we wrote the food on our plates where it belonged–the PROTEIN section, the WHOLE GRAINS section or the FRUITS & VEGETABLES section. They were tripped up a few times, but enjoyed yelling out their thoughts. We asked each other if we liked this food or that food in RR, found terms on the TOP 10 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2015-2020 DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR AMERICANS sheet I handed out, then played “perfect plate bingo!” helpful, communicative class with two newcomers (one to me and one for everyone).

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
January 16, 2018 at 5:15 pm There were several students in the class that I didn’t know, but apparently they had gone to classes on other days. A Chinese woman was there for the very first time. May prepared a good lesson about organic foods. She had them find words for vocabulary on a handout. She also had them match the names of fruits with pictures. Finally. she did a dictation using organic foods. A lot was new to the students so it took them some time to do the exercises.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was a tough day. running late from another appointment, and another class at IRCO to cover, basically, my world fell apart this day for about 3 weeks. Brian was here, forgot he was coming. Brought food, and had to rely on the day before my birthday to excuse myself from poor showing. Still, class was fun, took pictures, sang different versions of happy birthday in different languages.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I’m literally giving myself a 1 on reflection because I can’t even remember what this class was about! though I do remember it a little bit – two learners came in late, but I don’t remember what we did.
