What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Nice feeling, strong response from learners. I left the folks a little more stratified into level groups this time, which slowed down one end of the table, but the other end of the table just talked up a storm together, and the lower skill folks bonded a little better. It’s really great to see what happens when the group starts to develop a community.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It started with only a few attendees, but more showed up a few minutes into class and it became a large group of 18, with several children as well. One new attendee arrived about half-way through the lesson. Ivy brought materials for the 4th Salmon Nation module class – beads to represent salmon eggs.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): It was Diana’s “try my recipe” I wrote a lesson plan for her and she had to teach the class using it. The class went good and Diana noted that the class was useful in terms of seeing some different techniques being used! the class was fun occasionally too fun, some learners were cracking up after the TPR activity!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): One of the most successful classes ever! it was “try my recipe” for Alex. I made a lesson plan for Alex and he had to follow the instructions. I took the lead at some point to show Alex some techniques and it was too much fun! learners were not used to that kind of fun so some of them were literally cracking up, especially with TPR and with “honey, are you hungry?” “Yes, I am” we gave them candies afterwards. Alex said that he has noted and learned some techniques and that he’s gonna try some activities differently now.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Unexpectedly small class for Thursday, probably people thought that we went on to Spring break. only 6 learners showed up which was interesting because I got to work with all 6 of them more personally as a result, it was a very productive class in terms of learning and sharing their job titles.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today we had a large class with a blend of regular, familiar, and new learners, which provided for a good mixture of skill level and exciting level of engagement. Most the class arrived a little late, which was ok for me because I arrived very late due to circumstance. Patrik was well prepared and handled the late arrivals (and far-too late arrivals) deftly and with no apparent disruption to the class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We had a bit of a slow start with only three learners showing up by the start time. Four came later during names. It was a small class over all, which we attributed to the weather. Regardless, the connection and energy were good. The instructors worked well together and the learners appeared to be having fun.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Today was tough.. we all agreed it didn’t flow. The most important factor was that it was the largest class size we’ve had yet, and in the top 5% of class sizes we’ve ever had. But nearly half of the participants were in their first or second day, and several were quite low skilled, so they need a little training and a lot of support.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Interesting evening. Sunny warm day, and a good sized group for the evening. A couple of young new folks who came with chaperones. A little shy, and the group just seemed to have difficulty raising up the energy, as well as the chaperone getting a shadowing crash course. Feeling ended up being ok, will have to see if they come back, but it’s good that nearby programs are seeing this as a place for folks to come.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Another large class.. Barbara and I chose a unique arrangement, the H style, and it actually went well. It makes four ends with a middle block, though the corners are awkward. Barbara and I both felt afterwards that this arrangement, though not without its problems, was relatively easy to manage.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I was about 5 minutes late, and reworked the classroom completely, even though it had been set up in islands fairly well. everyone was waiting, and it set the tone. I was off balance and without a plan. A good thing though was we did use the Deck of Professions fairly effectively, but mostly the technique was go around the room and repeat. One learner asked to sit somewhere, and I said no.. at the end, we did a walk around, but with not enough time, making the end of the class a little clunky and confusing.
