What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): One of the biggest classes I’ve ever seen 17 people including 5 new learners. We had to move from the small room into the bigger one because we couldn’t fit in the small room. It was Joshua’s first time teaching after a break and it was definitely an intense class for both of us but from my point of view Joshua did a good job. Joshua was late for the class but I backed him up and after he arrived he smoothly took control of the class. We went over Alphabet sheet, yell n spell, and dictation. We didn’t make the class more challenging because we had a student that couldn’t write in English at all, therefore we tried to make her feel comfortable by slowing the dictation part but still other students were engaged pretty well. Basically, I would say that the class was very successful considering all the circumstances that we’ve managed effectively.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today David had his first “gentle intervention”, we started off with the alphabet sheet then we spelled our names one letter at a time very fast first time then second time slower so that learners can write each name down then we went over some interesting materials such as maps and voting applications then we did a dictation. Since it was David’s “gentle intervention” Patrik intervened into some activities and explained some nuances of how to approach some activities and it was very useful to be there and observe everything. Oh we also had a new learner :)

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Ashley did a great job today, she brought a lot of visually interesting materials. For example a picture of a bedroom with a lot of things in it such as a bag, a picture, a sofa, students had to identify where they are (preposition) for example, “the bag is under the table” We worked on prepositions. The energy of the group was good, we had fun. Ashley ended the class with the activity “Listen and Do” after she said clap everybody clapped and last thing she said “go home” which brought a lot of laughter at the end of the class which subsequently made everybody leave the class with a very good mood.
