What happened: This was Janet’s first silent class. She did not speak while teaching. We started with “Listen” and Point. Janet used flash cards to indicate the letters she wanted and was able to use them to do combinations of letters as well. We then did Yell & Spell, with Janet using sign language (and her DJ’s voice) to do her name. Luckily, after that they library allowed us to move to the bigger room since we had such a large class. We then went through a dictation progression, Janet again signing the dialogue and the DJ speaking it out loud. We worked on a memory game done with animal flashcards.

What happened:
This was Janet’s second silent class, and we were again able to use the bigger room. We did Listen and Point with the alphabet flashcards. The class was able to understand what Janet wanted and had fun. After Yell & Spell, we went through a dialogue with Ivy and Mike speaking the parts. The group then stood up and did a Listen and Do activity acting out food prep words like “wash hands” and “mop.” We then did dictation with some new sentences related to food safety. Janet brought a word search, and the class worked on that in pairs, and we did a choral response with those terms.Lesson Title: Service Animals

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class began with Listen and Point with the alphabet sheet. We had a few students show up during this exercise, so it got a bit crowded. We then went ahead with the Yell & Spell. Everyone did well, and the new students caught on immediately. After doing the dictation progression with the lesson title, Service Animals, we moved onto to a dialogue about guide animals, followed by a round robin with the dialogue. We then worked with handouts Janet brought about ADA Service animals and unusual service animals. Janet then finished up with an active exercise, having everyone stand and point as she called out the cardinal directions.
