The class was engaged in the activities, but with low energy. The class lightened up considerably with laughing once we got up and pointed to the parts of the body in the song “Dem Bones”.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): While talking about objects from Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Years traditions, I got a bit bogged down by trying to distinguish between the star of David and the star of the Occult, as well as Christian v Jewish v Islamic symbols, which was disengaging for one of the learners. Finished with Judy Garland’s “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): One student needed to get up and walk around, expressing earlier that she did get motion sickness, and participated more in helping other folks spell than writing things down herself. I have some time for the students to check in with her, but otherwise proceeded with the lesson. One of the learner’s loyalty cards are missing, possible due to our stack being fairly messed up in the Unite Oregon closet- we need some sort of container here.
