What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We began with 1/2 of usual learners present, about 5. Six more showed up later, one as late as 45 minutes. There was considerably good participation by all once they were present; a lot of laughter and friendly banter between and among all the learners. We concluded the class with playing online Judy Garland singing “Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries.” Then phrase by phrase class learners wrote down the opening lyrics, then all joined in the singing of this classic rendition
Preparation = 7 ; Technique = 5 ; Engagement = 5; Connection = 6 ; Poise = 5 ; Reflection = 8. Total Score = 36.
Two assistants: Lisa and Kristen, both shadowing. Class was fully engaged with laughter, bantering, round robin activity, using word searches and dialogue with each other. This ” silent lesson” progressed very well, with all participants actively involved. We had two (2) new learners. submitted on this ‘free form’ by William S. because I was unable to retrieve the proper template, either last eve or this am. Hoping I did not omit anything essential, for this report.
Lesson Title: Wash your hands before you eat, whether it’s an apple or meat.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was our 1st foray into a “silent lesson.” Julie used printed cards for her role, also physical motions for various portions of this lesson, including: stirring, chopping, cutting, whisking. washing hands, flipping, spreading, pouring, We did name intro’s of selves and to each other; dialogue and writing down: What are the 4 steps to food safety? Clean, separate, cook and chill. Julie gave me non-verbal cues, by pointing to words to use in a word find. All in all, this was an enjoyable adventure in a new method of teaching / learning for all. The learners caught on quickly & responded very well.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Began with alphabet sheets, moved to tools (screwdrivers, hammer, mallet, crescent wrench), asked class members to name and repeat names of each tool; later we played a game: Sam began with stating that he had one particular tool in mind and then asked the class members to determine which tool he was thinking about, by asking questions, such as: Is it metal? Is it plastic? Does it have red, yellow, or black on it?
Later Sam had posted word cards on a board at the front of the room and would state a word chosen from the left to match with a word on the right. Sam modeled this and then he asked each class member to do this in turn.
