Grade 3 - Tory, Hana, Uju, Tina, Yea Yea Yea!!!

My third-graders listened to a chant for Lesson 1: Hi, I'm Tory!  for their listening period yesterday, and chanted to it for another five repetitions. I have four Grade 3 classes, and by the final 24th repetition, I was reborn into a new life in which I would never have to listen to that infernal chant ever again.

We played the snatching card game with the book characters and the key phrases:

Hello, I'm _________.
Nice to meet you!

I had to remind students constantly to sit down, stop cheating, and don't fight. I think they had fun though.
I think I definitely improved in terms of preparing games that are both fun and useful compared to last year's ridiculous board games, lip-syncing, and pictionary messes. My goal is to set a high standard of English level for this year's crop of third-graders so that they can get as much as possible out of their weekly classes with me.

Their group names. I think we have a girl boss in 3-3.
