What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We continued with our one-on-one. I worked with mother and 2 yr old son, mostly using dictation and props to talk about toys, crafts and playing with kids (while actually playing with kid). Others did more with getting to know you questions, numbers, parts of the body, and more. We came together for the last 30 minutes and played Simon says and did a round robin using craft materials.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Because of recent problems in the class (with one child being so demanding that no one can concentrate) after talking to Patrik we decided to try something new. I started by sitting learners and assistants in a circle and explaining that we would be doing one-on-one lessons today. (I met wit the Assistants for a few minutes ahead of class to tell them what to do). I then paired people up and sent them to tables we had scattered around the room. We each started with the alphabet, since that is so familiar, and were able to cater to the level of the individual. Each teacher/assistant proceded with dictation based on whatever topic they wanted to use. For me, it was mostly family and school. I also incorporated the child into the lesson (he was far more content with this arrangement). Others worked on numbers, colors, relationships. Some used books, pictures from a puzzle game, markers and crayons as props for listen and point. Considering we have not yet been trained it went very well, I think because the relationships between learners and assistants is already developed. The two kids that were present participated, or stayed very near the adults. Feedback from assistants was that an hour and a half was too long, so we will try an hour next time and do something as a group at the end.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Used library laptops to practice searching for community resources, such as the local school district website, doctors in Sandy, and educational games for children. Good opportunity to practice basic computer skills like scrolling and typing in search words. Then we did a book scavenger hunt, with each Learner choosing from a basket a paper with an item written on it. First they had to search for the item on the laptop, using limiters to make sure they were selecting an available item in Sandy. Then they went in to the library to find the item. We did this twice, and the second time was much easier for them. So learning happened!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had the laptops set up on the library catalog page. Each learner was paired with an assistant. We went over the basics as a listen and point, ex. “point to the mouse”, “find : LINCC” etc. Once we we sure they had the basics, we moved on to search for books with the word “cat”. We then used various limiters, such as Spanish and Children. After each limiter, we looked at how many books were left. We repeated the exercise using “gato”, People were surprised to see there was only one book left when we started with cat and two books left when we started with gato. For the remaining 10 minutes, each pair choose a word to search trying various limiters. It was a very useful and engaging class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Patrik had assistants sit between learners since there was nearly a one-to-one ratio. He brought “Know Your Rights” handouts and used them for a Listen and Point activity. There was a lot of discussion and explanation (in Spanish and English) about what the information means and how it might be used. Learners were very interested in the topic. Patrik dictated some useful phrases, that they wrote and repeated.
