3rd Grade : Who are you?

3rd grade students have recently had their first class on a new topic. The topic is `Who are you?` and we are using the `In the Autumn Forest` picture book.

We started class with a greeting game. The students could use any English they have studied so far to talk with their friends. They used phrases like "What is your favorite color?" and "What's this?".

The main part of the class was listening to the story `In the Autumn Forest`. We used the digital version of the story. In this class we listened to half of the story. We will listen to the other half in the next class.

"What animals do you remember?"
"What body parts did you see?"
"What animal was first?"
If the students couldn't decide on the order of the animals we watched the story again.

In the story the students had to guess many different animals by their body parts. In order to study the English for different body parts we sang the song "Head, Shoulds, Knees and Toes". Then we played the `Please Game`. If the person says "Touch your mouth, please." you have to do what they say but if they don't use `please` you should not do it!

After playing as the class the students got into pairs and played again. The students took turns to give teach other orders.

Good job 3rd grade students! We are looking forward to listening to the second half of the story in the next class.
