    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class was less than great today. Toc taught the class so we did yell and spell and i handed out a list of 10 and i was able to do some listen and point and then Toc went on a tangent for 45min and it all ended with the clients saying how they don’t like coming to cultural orientation. it was awful and nothing got done, it was a waste of time.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class started late, we did yell & spell and listen and point with emotion words. We then had a discussion about how you felt when you first got to america, culture shock, and how do you deal with your emotions when you’re sad. It was a really nice discussion.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class started at around 3:20 we all went around the room and introduced ourselves and I introduced our lesson. Bridget from the county did half of her PowerPoint and then the laptop died so we moved into the green cleaning section where we made different cleaners and then did “this is a..” with the items in the bag. Once we got a working laptop Bridget continued with her lesson. After her PowerPoint was finished we had another guest Gail Kingsley teach us how to green clean our clothes with vinegar and baking soda and other organic cleaners after her portion was done I asked the class 2 questions as home work as a lead into talking about health and safety tomorrow and a way to review some housing specifics.
