    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Ian’s mom Traci was visiting and was an awesome guest shadower. Class had a moment of great hilarity. And was pretty upbeat throughout. MC tried an interesting phone related exercise that was fun but because the resource being accessed had changed formats, the exercise became less health related, but still of value as everyone had fun and followed Patrik’s directions. Great engagement between students and alot of smiling occurred. It is hoped that the table configuration at Kelly will be updated to allow shadowers to be able to walk around each table to better assist all of the learners. Excellent class.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Students were very helpful towards one another. Amy incorporated Bingo into the class and everyone enjoyed that. Prizes (sticker sheets) were awarded to those who received Bingos. Candy was used as the marker on the card and that was a great little pick me up for an evening class. New student from Congo attended – Sawini speaker. Spanish students near her were very helpful and coached her through the exercises. Alexis proved herself to be a gifted shadower.
