What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We went to the park today.. though there were challenges, it was really fun, the activities went well, and we are definitely getting better at this. It was hot. The bus was there, it was expensive and not air conditioned. Smaller group than we expected, but the kids LOVED it. Realized that if we do this in the context of a single class, the best thing to do is a single exploratory activity.. we could have been fine with just the nature walk, or just the scavenger hunt. Both felt rushed, but they were off and running. Also, we learned that we should put stars on the map, and numbers on the clues.. in any case, every group is different, so mixing around exactly which key information is given, and which isn’t is a way to shift the feeling of the activity. A watershed moment in P-P-T history.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Pretty off balance from the beginning.. and it’s the smallest things.. running out of alphabet sheets. The printer jammed up, and we didn’t have enough – this was compounded by lots of new folks and several folks with lower skill levels. I also think that changing the table arrangement also threw people off. One reason why it’s better to mix things up a little bit. But the activity where folks have to remember the words posted to the wall and write them down was fun and got people moving. Barbara and Ivy were great at holding the stability while I wobbled a little.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Well Arien was supposed to be the MC, but I guess he got stranded because of work, and I had to become it, I had seen the deck of professions with Krysie and thought to do that, brainstorm a little and came up with a great activity, dialogue and dictation, they all enjoy the work, Jamie was a great help as well as Cuc, since we had two fairly new Vietnamese students and she helped a lot with transitions they were very involved, so I appreciated the help and also Kelsy is always a great addition to the class ,, thanks to all…

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We split the class into two groups, which has benefits, but also one thing I don’t like is when the groups are not so equal. Also could have been arranged a little better. But one great thing happened – one of the learners asked for one of our maps! It’s my favorite one showing regional water systems.. the fact that we brought a real world material and one of the learners wanted it.. it’s exactly what we hoped for!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Very nice class today! We had a couple different language backgrounds, and levels were quite varied. We started with just a few learners, but by the end of class, there was good sized group. After the usual alphabet, names and ‘title of todays lesson’ activities, learners were shown a short video titled ‘coming to America’, which set the tone nicely for the rest of class. Bingo was fun and engaging, and I think everyone won somehow! Great vocab and listening practice. Two short dialogues were practiced among the group that were great review for some, but actually challenging (in a good way) for the lower leveled learners. Class ended with a word search activity that the learners were quite engaged with! And a nice after class chat to top it all off. Nice job, Janet! :)
