    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We are both new to teaching at Midland. Class was slightly smaller than usual but with a lot of new learners. We dictated facts about native plants and the bleeding heart, then filled out a diagram showing the different parts of the Oregon Iris. Will be figuring out the best ways to make the activities work for a larger group in the future.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
    In class today, students were introduced to Youtube and words associated with that topic including website and videos. They dictated various sentences about Youtube and did a word search with the new vocabulary including sports highlights, music videos, and movie trailers. Lastly, each student participated in a dialogue asking if they have ever watched Youtube videos. Overall, the students responded well with the topic and enjoyed getting to watch a few videos during class!

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We talked about different native plants that can be used for medicinal purposes. Learners did a document search and found words like “ailment” and “apothecaries”. We also looked at pictures of native plants and did dictation off of that. Learners learned about a couple plants and what their medicinal properties are.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):The classroom didn’t get filled up until 15 after 6, near the end of the alphabet sheet. There was a brand new learner who had a personal friend there to assist throughout the whole class. The whole class was fully engaged with the word search and learning different type of Social Media. Not all learners know what social media is but learners help each other as usual so it worked out well. As most of the learners know each other, a lot of sharing and connection happened throughout the entire session.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): For today’s lesson, the focus was on teaching the learners about pedestrian safety. This was done through document searches with the informational brochures and watching the Vision Zero awareness video. The students asked a good number of verifying questions about the topic and were engaged with each other. The lesson did not match May’s Thursday module and theme because Izzy did not receive the curriculum email.
