What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): we had a new student it was her first time ever learning English. It was a new challenge but we did pretty well and both Brian and I agree that we saw the benefits of the Alphabet in the beginning it was easy to see how quickly she was progressing. The students seem to connect well with the curriculum and it was engaging. We thought maybe more use of visuals could help anl little more. The students helped each other a lot especially with the new learner. Overall it was a really good class.

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): Started with listen and point with the alphabet, Lucas had me say a few strands so the students can hear the difference in how people speak, I thought that was a good idea. Then we did yell and spell. Followed with the dictation progression and then we did a word search. From there we did some more dictation progression and then we passed a banana around and had the class model down. We did not have time to show a video. Lucas is good at having the students work together instead of relying on the teachers. This class also had multiple languages so it was good to see everyone helping each other across languages. It was the epitome of intercultural work, overall a really good class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Alphabet listen and point, yell and spell, dictation progression. Discussed the movie the Shining and the actors in the film. Did a round robin with the class “have you seen the movie the Shining? Yes I have/No I haven’t”. Majority had not seen the movie so they seemed interested in it. Shining scene played a scene from the movie and did a dictation progression off of what each character said. At first the class was confused but at the end after multiple plays and writing it down they understood what was going on. I suggested to Brian that he adds another layer and have the class or the facilitators act it out. Overall the classed flowed really well, and showing the scene worked well. Next time Brian said he would have liked to work on the alphabet a little more, seemed to speed through that. All in all good class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
Alphabet listen and point, yell and spell, dictation progression, “draw this” class had to draw a square and then fill in directions inside the square. Worked on left and rights and top and bottoms. Then we filled in a chart that was our “garden” and grouped vegetables together that benefit one another. Then choral response after each dictation. Then we did a round robin about if we have grown our food. Class seemed to be engaged. Lastly we went over basic plant facts, this sparked lots of questions from group. Overall went well. Directions and plots worked well for the class, perhaps next time less writing on the whiteboard.Lesson Title: All about DACA

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Alphabet listen and point, we also did a string of 3 or 4 letter combinations. This part was challenging for the students but it was equally engaging. We did dictations, first with single words and then we moved onto full sentences. Next we did a document search, and continued with full sentence dictations. then we did a round robin with an official document, and then we watched a video about DACA. The class was really engaged with one another, we had varying language abilities but Sara did a good job for the preparation and had sentences already written out. We used this for a low level learner it allowed the class to continue on at a smooth pace. The video was a little rushed but it was a good transition to pass out the cards. Overall the class went very smoothly and everyone seemed engaged with the content as well as the instructors.
