What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Alex MC’d a class of 15. The lesson was about life hacks. We did some sentence dictation and a round robin on a life hack to waterproof your shoes with candle wax. The library staff was super helpful getting us some additional chairs, but they did let us know that we cannot go over 20 total people in the room. That includes the MC and any assistants. Neither of us had gotten an email about Mellissa shadowing, but she jumped right in and worked with learners. I couldn’t tell how familiar she is with how the PPT method works, but she seemed excited about the Lents green ring English class thing happening out there. Alex wrapped up class by doing a point and find activity. We are short on the loyalty cards.
