What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We started the class with only one learner. We sat and did the alphabet sheets and, when it became clear our learner was struggling, just went over the alphabet in its entirety. We did yell and spell, and then dictated the title of today’s lesson. It was at this point three other learners came in. We finished dictating the title, then when back to the yell and spell activity. The original learner did not want to spell his name, but later in the lessons was open to trying to speak out loud. We dictated the address of the library, and sent it around the room in round robin form. We did listen and point with a map of Gresham, then divided Gresham into quadrants and found locations based on north/east/south/west. We also did this in real life, pointing northwest from Stark Street and so on. We finalized this activity by finding parks and dictating the address of Nakada Nature Park (sp?), and then directions for how to get there. This was the end of the lesson.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Learners wrote down dictated sentences such as “Which way is it?” having to do with directions. This was a relatively higher-level class except one learner who struggled with writing. This student has made a lot of progress with allowing his classmates to help him, even female students. Ben led an activity where learners got out of their seats and pointed to the actual direction “EAST, WEST…” where they giggled and tried not to poke each other in the eyes. At the very end of class, Ben passed out cards with “PIne Street” “Burnside,” etc to each learner with a hand-drawn compass in the center of the table and facilitated a round robin where learners said “such and such street is SW/SE/N/S…..of such and such street.” This activity had the potential to be really great and started to be once the confusion about these “actual” locations vs. direction of where the student was sitting was clarified. Learners enjoyed interacting with each other during this silly exercise.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Patricia started with the alphabet and incorporated some different letters than what is normally used. She made a survey similar to the one the library wanted us to do so learners could practice doing a survey before the real one. Skill levels were high and low around the room, but learners were helping each other very well. When we got to the Library survey, some learners had already done it. They helped other learners, and we also gave out extra worksheets for those learners to do instead. Lots of helping and working together today (…yesterday)- a friendly class!

Two more students joined at 6:30pm. We dictated several sentences. We did listen & point using a fake w-2. We read a printed info sheet about W-2’s from Turbo Tax. We ended with a round robin “Have you completed your tax return for this year?”

We began the class by doing the alphabet listen & point for 15 minutes with two learners. We did yell & spell with names. We dictated the title of the lesson “Where do I send it?” At 6:30pm, 3 new learners joined us. We did listen and point using a credit card application and using a map of portland’s zip codes. As a class, we each got to write on an envelope as if we were applying for a credit card by mail to the credit card company. We did “This is A” activity using pictures of landmarks to talk about places near the Gresham Library. We did a listen & point with a map of the location in which Gresham Post Office is found.

The class started with a good balance of Alphabet listen and point, with most learners comfortable with it. The focus of the lesson was vegetable gardens, and the learners wrote down “Do you have a vegetable garden at home?” to ask each other. Everyone was very focused on the topic, and they took it personally. since most if not all did have gardens or wanted them. They enjoyed the other sentences for dictation progression: April is a great time to start a garden. Vegetables can be planted as seeds or starts. There are a variety of vegetables you can plant! They, also, enjoyed the Vegetable Worksheet with crude but cute line drawings done by Ashlyn. When the Make Your Garden sheet came around, they all wanted to draw and color their vegetable choices on their sheets, with none of the learners feeling or acting shy or hesitant. They enjoyed struggling to speak English about their gardens and vegetables with each other and the teachers. The learners were not shy asking questions to get their gardens correct. The lesson ended with Ashlyn passing around the Nadaka Flyer inviting people to an “Earth Day Clean-up Event at Nadaka Nature Park” . It was, also, to be an opportunity to practice speaking English. After the group repeated Ashlyn’s reading, together, a few learners volunteered to read the paragraph by themselves, out loud.Lesson Title: Everythings waiting for you in Downtown Portland

We did the alphabet listen and point for the first 15 minutes of class. We went around the room and did yell & spell with names. We dictated the title of the lesson “It’s Tax Season.” We did a dialogue with “What is the title of today’s lesson?” “The title of today’s lesson is called it’s tax season.” We dictated 6 phrases/words associated with taxes. We did a a document search with an article about Tax Day and why it is on the 18th of April. After we completed the document search, we all took turns reading one sentence each from the article. We did a call & response dialogue about where to file taxes. We used a Sample 1040EZ and practiced filling it in, using Santa Claus as the person filing. We ended class with Ashlyn introducing her flyer to the class and conducting a word search with the document.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
We started class a little differently because it was Ashley’s “gentle intervention” and we had only one learner. We started with the PPT people sitting with the learner. Instead of doing alphabet sheets, we gave sentences introducing our names and something we did that day. We had our learner write this down, read the sentences back to us, then come up with our own. Our learner said he wasn’t good at writing difficult words so we tried to come up with more complicated sentences about what we did that day. Words used were things like “crematorium,” “excursion,” “cultural competence,” and so on. At this point a second learner came in and we started forming sentences and sending it around the room by verbal repetition only, modelling down. At this point the third learner came in. We finished up this activity to get everyone’s names straight, and then partnered off, PPT staff to learner, to dictate our transportation journeys. After this, Ashley played a song with an address in it along with Bing Crosby. First she had learners write words they recognized, then we dictated lines of the song one at a time, playing the musical version before writing it down. We finished off by looking over a leaflet Ashlyn wrote for a park cleaning event this Saturday,

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Started with alphabet listen & point, names, and then the lesson title. We practiced garden words with the word cloud, and then did a listen & point with a companion planting guide. Learners chose their favorite plant from the guide, and then filled in a worksheet with more about that plant- including the colors of all the plants. Learners then shared with the class what they chose. Ended with me inviting people, again, to Earth Day on Saturday! Had one new learner in class who quickly fit in with the group.
