She brought fresh fruits and vegetables and started with “this is an apple”.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I wasn’t super happy with this class. It ended up being a big(ger) class with a new student, and I had planned to try some new activities that I hadn’t done before, so it was a challenge since I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing and also had no one to model with. I tried to do a tpr activity but it didn’t go quite as I hoped. I did some questions and answers about team sports in a round robin, which worked well, and then we listened to a Zumba video and wrote out the text. I meant to go through the steps we wrote out but we ran out of time, so it was more writing than I hoped.
