Learners were interested. Supplies are in good shape.

Na’ama had lots of material prepped and we didn’t get to all of it, but this was a good launching place to start and we can use the other items she prepped next week!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Discussed 2 native Oregon plants and their benefits. Did a word search from an OSU extension info sheet. Practiced some tricky pronunciation, but Melissa felt like it could have been addressed more. Students did well to help each other and there was a general positive and cooperative atmosphere.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Great lesson today with lots of class engagement. 11 learners came, which is almost twice as many as we have been getting over the last few weeks. A few people were off visiting family in Vietnam. And Ian made some phone calls last night inviting folks to come back. Whatever the reason, it was nice to see so many people! We talked about earthquakes and how to stay safe. Watched a cute video and did some dictation. We are planning on using some of the same materials again next week to reinforce some of the messages.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had 11 learners this morning, which is more than we’ve had in a long time! Exciting to see some folks who haven’t been around for a while, along with a new learner. We used the native plants poster with some of the material prepped last week to talk about different plants and used dictation sentences to lead up to interpreting a chart on the poster. Dictation took a little longer because of the larger group and varying abilities, so we barely got to the chart, but are hoping to reinforce these concepts and use it again next week.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Good class – lots of energy. Passed around a lot of items found in a first aid kit – band-aids, gauze, emergency blanket, etc. We decided it might benefit the class if we mixed folks around a bit more – and brainstormed ideas that might be a fun way to do it! People seemed very interested in the first aid kit lists. We wondered if it might be good at the end of the month (or the beginning?) to hand out materials in multiple languages for folks to take home when we are dealing with such important topics!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Although the class was small tonight, the learners were all regulars so everyone connected well with one another. Melissa brought in plants and we did a round robin of “This is a….” with them. Learners had a lot of fun with the plants and it was good for them to be able to see, feel, and learn the differences about the plants. Learners were very engaged with the activities and it was great to see everyone come together to help one another out. Overall, it was a great class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Ben was supposed to MC today, but was sick and I only found out at the last minute. I didn’t have his lesson plan (and no backup lesson plan). Luckily, Ian was in the office and while I was doing the alphabet sheet and names he gathered some materials to work with. It was a little scattered (and I found myself over-explaining/over-talking without a solid lesson plan in place!), but thanks to Ian I don’t think it was a huge impact on the learners. After the lesson, we discussed the importance of sending out the lesson plan in advance for situations like this, and of possibly having a backup lesson plan to use if all else fails. I DO NOT KNOW what would have done if Ian hadn’t been there to put materials together for me!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We used a printout of the invasive plants poster to do a document search, and Ian had learners repeat key phrases. Also did some dictation, learners worked well together and were especially able to support each other with parts of the sentences that were repetitive, which was great to see. We ended the class by going outside to look for and identify some plants! We discussed that having a more solid route and more time for the outdoor portion may have helped, but otherwise a very fun and engaging lesson!
