What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific):We started with the alphabet sheet and then did a few spelling dictations about shopping. Next we learned about the different types of US coins. We also did a dialogue practice and a word search which the student really enjoyed. We closed the class with a one on one discussion.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Went with the video again, which students seemed to get really engaged with. Left more unstructured time, which was utilized mostly by one student. Ended with Columbus, but was too unstructured, and kinda flopped.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): After alphabet sheets, Zadok dictated the lesson title and then (spelled out) vocab words on the theme of shopping. We then did a TPR with ~7 words (still on the same theme), then dictated those words. Finally we did an activity with the song “How Much is That Doggie in the Window?”, listening, writing, and singing, which was a major hit!

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I had no DJ for this class, so I brought Abdulla to be my assistant. We started with some alphabet sheet work and spent a little time on the name yell and spell because Abdul’s name was new and a bit challenging. I “borrowed” a bunch of ideas for this lesson from the lesson Zadok did the week before that had gone over very well, so I started by playing the first minute of Dolly Parton’s “The Bargain Store” for the students, and then playing it line by line, and having them first try to write out the lyrics on their own, then dictating them, and then trying to figure out the meaning. After that we did a few Round Robin yes/no questions about bargain stores, and finished up by getting out some cash and coins and practicing making change.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Pulled some vocabulary after watching Thriller, which seemed okay. Played with Bananagrams afterwords- I’m trying to figure out how to bring them into the class.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): Unite Oregon was having a phonebanking, so we moved to Starbucks. Talked about “offensive words” and played with the tiles in Bananagrams.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): After alphabet sheet practice, Zadok and I alternated dictating Thanksgiving themed words for the students (spelling them out one letter at a time). We improvised these words, and the students seemed most interested in understanding and talking about how we celebrate holidays, so we had a mini discussion about different ways of celebrating, and wrote out the necessary vocabulary. Then Zadok dictated the title of the lesson (Friendsgiving), and a Thanksgiving menu. After that we did a variation on the document search, where Zadok showed the students a pumpkin pie recipe on his computer, and we asked them to find phrases from it, and then write them down and practiced pronouncing them. Finally we did a question / answer dictation about our plans for Thanksgiving.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): We spent the first hour or so of the class with a discussion in English and Spanish about the Trump being elected and what that means for our students, our classes, humanity, etc. Patrik made sure that the students were able to voice all their concerns and ask any questions they had about the ramifications of a Trump presidency. Afterwards we moved into a modified LEA discussing our Christmas plans, and finished by talking about our favorite Christmas songs, so ended on a happy note.

What happened (as short or as long as you like, but be specific): I started with alphabet practice, but since they were keeping up well and moving through it quickly, I didn’t do as much as usual so I could spend a little more time on the song. After that I dictated the name of the lesson, and then did a modified LEA like Patrik had done the week before where I dictated some questions, and then asked we went around answering the questions and writing out all the responses (with mild adjustments as needed to any phrasing / vocab choice issues). Questions were on the theme of gift giving – what do you want for Christmas, what are you giving your family, is your shopping finished, etc. After that we listened to the song The 12 Days of Christmas and wrote down some of the lyrics. I noticed that it was feeling like a lot of work to the students, who were both a bit tired and hoping for an easy/fun class for the last class of the year, so I modified the plan and after establishing the pattern of the song, we just wrote out the “day” and the “gift” (i.e. “second” or “third” and “two turtle doves” or “three french hens”). Since a lot of these are unusual vocab words, and I had my computer, we google image searched them. At the end we attempted to sing the song together (and were actually quite successful by the last verse!)
