Score: 44 (preparation: 7; technique: 8; engagement: 8; connection: 8; poise: 7; reflection: 6).What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class began and ended on time. After Alphabet Listen & Point then Yell & Spell we had dictation of the announcements (no class this Thursday, and last class at this site will be March 12). Tax return forms were passed out and the learners pointed to words called out by DJ. We all then stood in a circle for payment types listen & do (write a check, online, credit card and pay with cash). Money was passed out to everyone along with Walgreens ads. We found the price of milk and all counted our money silently. Then we practiced asking each other how much money we had in front of us and whether it was enough to buy the milk or not. None of us had enough money. There was great camaraderie among the learners, all of whom stayed afterwards talking among themselves for at least 20 minutes.

Score: 46 (preparation: 7; technique: 8; engagement: 8; connection: 8; poise: 8; reflection: 7).
What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class began at 10:07, due to late arrival of the learners. After Alphabet Listen & Point we proceeded to Yell & Spell using both first and last names. A variety of activities followed: round robin (practicing different responses to the question: “What’s your name again?”), counting practice, listen & do mimicking using an ATM machine, and further practice with large numbers by matching populations to their corresponding cities, states and countries. Class ended at 11:39 with the song sung by all: “Can’t Buy Me Love”. After class we discovered that the box of loyalty cards was missing. We had our normal blue box but the smaller box of cards was nowhere to be found.
