    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had three students, two of them new, and an assistant, Celina. We practiced how to ask names of each other and others, introduce ourselves, and greet each other, did an exercise involving directions, a listen-and-point with a map of Oregon counties, asked each other and found out how many counties Oregon has, pronounced county names, and finished with a song, This Land is Your Land.

    Class started a little late, we had one brand new learner join us. She seemed quite high level, and David had her do some dictations. Our other learner came in about thirty minutes late, a very familiar face, one that I was very happy to see. David and I did some listen & point on a map, some dictation related to addresses and phone numbers, and closed with a fantastic folk song that included some directions in the lyrics.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had a new assistant, Kenzie, and two new students. We talked about ways to greet each other, and brainstormed about area streets. We did a dictation and sand the song Around using several prepositions, and then Kenzie and a few students dictated to us, describing where we each live, using prepositions, and we then did call and response. It was great to see new people and returning ones bond so quickly, for example, when discussing difference between ranch and farm in English.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
    We had so many people today, including several who came back for the first time in months and a few new learners. So, it took a while to spell all our names and introduce ourselves, pull up more chairs, and so on. But it was great to see so many people, and Laura was even taking pictures! One student brought a list of irregular verbs, but unfortunately, we ran out of copies. We spent time doing the song Around which teaches several prepositions and wrote down: around, over, under, through, near, close to, behind, in back of, in front of, etc. It would have been great to use these in a role play in small groups: Where is he/she? But we ran out of time.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):Much smaller group today. Unfortunately, we started late due to a few factors, including students not knowing which room to go to, either #1 or the modular we used last week. Also, school will be closed tomorrow, so there may have been confusion about whether or not the school was open today. Also, we had to end at 11:20 so a meeting could start in the room at 11:30. We worked on address writing and repeating. A student had brought a sheet of irregular verbs, which was great. So, I chose a sentence: I live at___. It’s near___. Have you ever been there? We all practiced asking each other where we’ve been, writing these sentences down, and discussing the ways to say it in Spanish, and the differences between Did you go to Eugene? and Have you been to Eugene?

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):Only one student today. She had brought a list of irregular verbs, so after a few addresses dictated, I focused on those we would use with directions and getting somewhere: come, go, grew (up), as well as the subtle difference between I didn’t get that, and I don’t get it (hearing vs. comprehension).

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):Our last class for spring at East. We did a dictation and role play about the last day of class. I started a dictation and call and response with directions to where I live, and then each student had her chance to explain how to get to her home, while others wrote it down, and then each said the directions out loud while the rest of us repeated. It was a good opportunity to practice saying and writing things like, “My address is…”, “on the right/left side”, “go past”, “go all the way to”, “go as far as”, “go straight”, “keep going”, and “if you see/ get to___, you’ve gone too far.” It was nice to see a few returning students!
