What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Phew, this class kinda threw me for a loop! I was a little rusty and it’s been a minute since I’ve taught such a low level group! I’d say 7/9 of the learners were at a very beginner level. It was a bit chaotic in the beginning; I was running behind, the room was totally out of order when I got there, there are a ton of cards in the box, etc.. I didn’t have a DJ so I just didn’t have the time to shuffle through the cards. I had everyone write their name on a sheet and I checked off their loyalty cards after they left. There were 2 learners that said they had cards but I could not find them anywhere- I looked thru the stack twice.
Overall, it was a fine class- it took a lot of energy to make sure everyone was on the same page and I’m glad there were 2 sort of assistants there (translators). Writing skills were pretty low so dictations/dialogues took a while but it was good practice for all. We did a ton of choral repetition and a fun TPR to end!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The largest class we’ve ever had at Rockwood! Thank goodness for amazing shadowers helping out and the H format, which works pretty well for keeping folks connected and ease of support for the shadowers/facilitators. Activities themselves a little slow going, but interpersonal connection made the difference. Ended a little late, and updated this report 2 days late.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): As common, small group at the beginning, but continued trickles throughout, ending up with 20.. one person coming late enough that I decided not to count her. This report is one day late. Basically, we passed around branches of cherry, maple, cedar, hemlock and other tree parts.. lively, funny, a little chaotic, and it got a little blocked up around one corner of the room.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was Claudia’s dress rehearsal and for her first time I think she did great. We started with the Alphabet where I demonstrated some techniques how to improve the alphabet sheet. Then we did Yell n Spell, the title of today’s.. Then Round robin. Claudia’s pace was a little bit fast but overall not bad. I suggested and demonstrated some techniques how to approach the round robin. Overall a nice class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The class was pretty big compared to last week and all of a sudden there are more teenagers/young adults showing up than I’ve ever seen.. a couple last week and then like more than half this particular class was younger than 21. Very interesting, there were 2 girls who were pretty chatty and I should have moved them but I didn’t. They were responsive when I asked them to be quiet, and I kind of picked on them during one activity when I realized they weren’t paying attention. It was the most classroom management I’ve had to do in a while! Overall class was fine, I had a good mix of levels and higher level learners were very helpful with the others. It’s tough without a DJ to deal with loyalty cards if you don’t know any of the learners, which is the case for me. So I did my best with making sure folks cards got marked off. I may have missed one or 2. But I did get record of everyones names..

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):We had a large class today, which wasn’t an issue with 4 instructors, all of whom were very helpful. We completed successful rounds of alphabet listen and point, round robin, dictation progression, and document search, all of which oriented towards the theme, Trees. The transition between activities, as well as the activities themselves, were very smooth. We didn’t get too bogged down in one activity, which kept the whole class engaged despite the wide variety of skill level. We were all very impressed with how much Jackleen’s confidence and skill level have improved. Overall, there was a lot of positive energy and engagement.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): A solid class. Jeanice from APANO came and that was awesome, she really got what we were doing. Though the lesson lacked visual interest, we filled it out with a dialogue.. words like switch, cover my shift were unusual. One learner revealed that he’d had two strokes. It was a good feeling group.
