Ms. Iris is telling her story.
Ms. Connie is telling her story to the girls.我wǒ 的de 天tiān 哪nă （English Translation: "Oh My God!!"). How does someone keep 11 little kids busy and "awake" in a 3.5 -hour long class? My strategy is to keep all the activities intense and short. An experienced 1st grade language teacher suggests that to keep the students' attention, a language teacher needs to change her activities every 5 minutes on average. So you can probably guess how many activities we have in class a day.
Story telling is a very good activity in the language class. To make it more fun and intense, I assigned each TA a book to present in a small group of 3-4 students. The content in each book is very basic and short but with colorful pictures. The TAs need to finish telling their assigned stories in 3 minutes and then switch to the next group. 
Ms. Connie is telling her story again, but this time is for the boys.
