    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Unexpectedly large class, we later learned that 8 of the learners are here visiting from Taiwan. There was also another group of 3 first-time attendees plus 3 children. The allotted 20 chairs for the room were full so 3 other learners who arrived after the start were not able to stay. Despite so many first time learners the class picked up on the exercises and helped one another through the activities. Sofia facilitated a great lesson about pollen and allergies.
