An as very helpful and Janet was very poised.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): The biggest class we’ve had in a long time. 1 more than Monday! It was a high energy class, and so that’s great. With little planning, it ended up being a map and dictation fest. The map was too small, and there was no easy way to use the large map with this size group and the arrangement of tables. But it’s wonderful to see the group growing so huge!

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class was good, at one point people worked by 2’s there was fast paced dictation, some people were struggling but Kelsey was a ton of help to them, we are all learning and so there is always a chance to improve, is a good thing to know that we don’t have it all figured out just yet…in the end everyone was engaged and laughed this is my favorite part when I see the people in class having a good time.

    What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was one of the most high energy connected classes I’ve ever experienced. It’s probably partly the youth, and the activity of group map pointing was great.. but the connectedness continued throughout, they were doing the activities, but then there would be all this talking happening in between. It would have been ideal except a few people were not as engaged with that, so we needed to keep it rolling to make sure everyone was getting something. FASCINATING!
