    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was the first class back at Hall Elementary and 21 leaners showed up! We did start a little later since the learners had to sign up for the SUN program before class. Once we started, we did the alphabet listen and point, yell and spell with names, and the title of the lesson for the day. With such a large class and being the first class, we ended the class with pointing to directions (north, west, etc.) and more choral response. Overall, the class was extremely engaged and worked well with each other.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This class went SOOO well. The learners brought with them a really positive energy when they showed up and they were ready and willing to engage and that made a really big difference. We did a couple dialogues, a document search using a page from the OHP website, and a really fun TPR that got the class engaged and laughing. There was a lot of spontaneity with humor responses in English. The multi-level engagement was really good too. We moved a couple learners around and it seemed to make a pretty big difference.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I had a cold and was pretty wiped out but the class room brought good energy and there was a high level of participation and enthusiasm. The class was engaged throughout and there was plenty of laughter and engagement. My one criticism would be that I should’ve taken grater initiative to re-arrange seating. I had a few too many lower level learners seated on one end of the table. It would’ve been more beneficial to mix things up a bit more than I did -Especially for next week now that I’m a bit more familiar with who is more proficient and who struggles. We did some insurance and health related vocab, a funny dialogue, and a document search in addition to the standard beginning activities.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We have moved from our previous place to a room. The name of the classroom is “room 5”. We had 3 new learners. Two of them were really at the beginner level, we did our best to accommodate them and made sure that they feel comfortable, they seemed to enjoy the class.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started a little bit late. The classroom was locked and it took a few minutes to get the classroom set up. After began with the standard warm ups and lesson title dictation. We then moved into preventative medicine vocabulary phrases like, I exercise, I eat vegetables, I sleep, I get a massage, etc. We then moved into a document search, then came back to writing with a dialogue that asked, “What do you do to stay healthy?” It turned out to be a great activity that engaged the higher level learners to come up with answers that had not been previously given, like, “I play soccer to stay healthy.” I’m feeling good about my arrangement of learners this time. I had a good spread of higher level and lower level engagement which was great. There were many times when I could just sit back and watch people work together. It was great!

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Great class, we had 18 learners including a new learner. We went over Alphabet sheet, Yell n Spell, dictation and then we did Bingo game. Learners had to write vocabulary that’s related to thanksgiving. Students filled out boxes with the vocab and then class ended, so we didn’t get a chance to play Bingo, we’re gonna play it though next week

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Great class, Krysie brought a pumpkin pie and some candies for her Bingo activity. We ate the pie at the end celebrating all of the holidays in this month. I really liked how students were engaged and I really liked Bingo activity, a very useful game-like activity.
