What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
Class started a few minutes late to let people show up. After that, we had the learners write down a few key words, do a listen and find with a picture of a house and it’s contents, then a round robin-like activity. They then wrote down a dialogue and ended the class with a listen and do activity.Lesson Title: She Flies With Her Own Wings

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class had to start about five minutes late because there were no students at the beginning. We had a new student who had attended a year ago and had no loyalty card. We did Alphabet Listen & Point, Role Play Listen & Do, Dictation and then sang ‘Oregon, My Oregon’ which was a little too hard for most of us to sing but Julie was patient and somehow helped us sound better.

Then, a listen and point with a tax form, dialogue, a listen and do, and writing down a few quotes on taxes. With the dialogue, the learners wrote it down, repeated it with choral response, and practiced saying it passing the conversation around the table.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class went exceptionally well in my opinion. I was especially impressed with the multi level engagement. Sometimes I feel like the more advanced learners can get bored or not necessarily getting advanced usage or accent coaching and in this particular class I feel like we were able to get some questions answered for our advanced learners in a way that kept things interesting for them. Jane’s sentence scramble activity continues to be a great multi level activity. It’s something that everyone can participate in and get the right answers. It’s game-like, encourages all levels, and everyone gets a turn.Lesson Title: There’s No Place Like Home

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Good mix of students. Sam used props (tools: hammer, measuring tape, screwdrivers, etc) and visual aids (cut outs of verbs and objects that were put together as sentences by students) very effectively. This (Mr. Fix It) is a good module. Celina was shadowing.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
This class began around 12:10, due to waiting for learners to arrive. Ben led Alphabet Listen & Point until Jane took charge with triplets, quads and confusable rhythms. After Yell & Spell dictation followed. We then searched a W-4 tax form and the learners located words and phrases on the document. Next came a tax word scramble, with all words relating to taxes. The learners laughed, helped and encouraged each other, and camaraderie was definitely established. After a numbers dictation and short physical exercise, class was dismissed on time.
