What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
We had a lot of new learners in this class! 5 or the 8 were learners new to Patricia and I, and 3 of them were completely new. We started with alphabet listen and point, yell and spell, title of today’s lesson, and then dictated some sentences with bird facts. After the fact, Patricia passed around a picture of what we talked about in the sentence. Class ended with reading some Aesop fables about birds. This was fun. We read it all together first, slowly, then Patricia invited learners to individually read it outloud for the class. Lots of outgoing learners were excited to do this. It was an engaged class with lots of working together among learners.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): This was Megan’s final class and Patrik joined to perform the final evaluation. The class was large with a large amount of children. Alot of wrangling and some confusion. Alot of energy and all the learners enjoyed themselves. A couple of new learners. We will prepare an area for any children, and ensure the DJ knows to manage the seating of new learners after the begining of the class. A great class and alot learned.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Class started a few minutes late with just one learner. We did the alphabet sheets for a few minutes, and then Kelly switched it around and had our one learner call out the letters. This passed fairly quickly and we used a few minutes discussing the weather before a second learner arrived. We resumed the alphabet sheets. Kelly again had Ivy call out the letters. Both Ivy and Eduardo were laughing and enacting the PPT format – “You got it!” We then performed progressive dictation with the title of the lesson. Eduardo said he liked the word “style” in the title. Following this, we did Listen and Point with Trimet’s map of Portland. We used both sides of the map, pointing out specific locations and connecting them to the MAX lines. Thus, one of us would say, for example, “Where is PSU?” And, after everyone had found it, we asked which MAX lines were nearby. At some point around here, our third and last learner came in; we returned to the “What’s My Name?” activity to get everyone reacquainted. Then we did progressive dictation with sentences about the MAX line routes. Eduardo consistently helped the other learners with their sentences, and Kelly took the opportunity to work on pronunciation with Yanet, We also demonstrated the MAX routes on the map after progressive dictation. Finally, we did progressive dictation with Kelly’s transportation experience today and opened the floor to questions. There weren’t really any, but Ivy said she liked the lesson today! And thus was today’s lesson.

Total Score: 43What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):
There were a lot of learners and a variety of first languages. There were about 8 children with parents, and 3 children took part in the happenings. The other children played 2 with 2, causing no hindrance. First, Ashlyn did the alphabet, and some learners came in late. Second, Ashlyn began a lesson about Back Yard Bird Buddies, passing around a bird drawing with labels of bird’s anatomy, after the learners wrote down the Today’s Lesson sentence. The learners were enthused and kept focus on finding the printed words of anatomy she called out. Third, Ashlyn had many pictures of different kinds of birds common to people’s back yards, and the learners passed them around to each other with the “This is a…” exercise. As the first “ready” and “This is…” worked its way around the circle, she just handed a new picture to a learner saying its name to start another circulating. This was the most practical and effective way for the learners to get new bird pictures and names, since the class was too big to wait for one to finish. It worked extremely well to keep them speaking and hearing by getting a bird picture and telling another about it, with another one coming. After that, Ashlyn had a fun match game for the learners. She had a picture of the birds in one pile and bird descriptions in the another. The learners were to match them. They worked in four groups. The learners were very absorbed and worked together, well. One learner said he could not read anything, so his partner read the descriptions and had him pick out the correct one. I noticed the different groups were all doing things a little differently, working out their strengths and needs. Brooke gave an idea, afterwards, to have the learners write down the bird names before starting the exercise, letting them refer to it if they wanted (time permitting being the inference). At the end, Ashlyn would have the learners repeat after her, as she read bird names and descriptions from the match.
