What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This class had way more energy than usual! We finished playing a BINGO game we started last week. After that, we did some short sentence dictation, and played dictionary with the vocabulary words we worked with all month. They really enjoyed this activity. Overall, it was one of the most exciting classes I’ve had at this location.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): There was a lot of laughing in today;s class. We did a lot of writing and working with pronunciation. For the majority of the class, we worked with a dialog of a conversation between 911 dispatcher and a person calling to report a fire. The class didn’t have a lot of energy at first and seemed really tired, so I had them stand up, do a few stretches, and sit back own. After that, their energy seemed to rise.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class had a good amount of energy and they are working well to help the lower level learners, more than they had in the past. We worked with a pretty big dialog, which they enjoyed but still challenged them. Towards thee end of class, we did a round robin activity with the Deck of Professions. This was the first time I’ve used the deck for this class, and they were impressed by the artwork.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started a Bingo game after the normal warmup stuff, and worked with a dialog. The class had a lot of energy- more than usual which was nice. It was a really fun class. I had one learner in this class that was struggling the last few classes with the alphabet sheet, but she showed up to this class with a lot more skill. I didn’t see her last Wednesday (or Monday since there wasn’t class) but it was surprising that she improved so much in just a little over a week.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):There was laughing and she barely noticed that I ran out of activities and had to make up an extra one. I had her write a lot and read what she wrote. I added some round robin questions which she was able to expand on and led into a short discussion- like explaining what a fire extinguisher is, and why a fire fighter would ask how many people live in your house.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started class in the hallway a few minutes late since we didn’t have a classroom until halfway through. After the alphabet sheet, names, and the lesson title, we wrote down a list of vocabulary words and worked with pronunciation. Then, we did a This is an Apple activity, and drew trees to label (they thought this one was really fun). We then stood up, did a few stretches, a short TPR activity and moved into the classroom. Once there, we watched a video, wrote down what they said, and repeated it. To end class, we did a dictionary game where they had to draw the objects I brought in, and parts of a tree.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started class off with the alphabet sheet and names. After the usual stuff, we moved on to a lot of pronunciation based dialogs and dictation. To break up the larger chunks of writing, we did a TPR activity that the learners really seemed to like. At the end of class, we did a short voting activity

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We did names a little different this time, having each learner spell their name quickly without pausing and having the other learners work together to make sure they got it right. Then, I had them repeat the name and how to spell it. The rest of the class, we did a This is an Apple activity with fruits from trees (like an apple), and a couple dialogs.
