English names

Posted on 1/13/2010 at 5:35:13 PM

Every Monday and Wednesday I teach two after school classes with (or without) my coteacher. My first class is with five rambunctious 3rd and 4th graders. Today, I realized that I never remember their names, so I resort to saying “Hey, you” a lot of the time. I figured it’s time to give these kids English names, so we spent the beginning of the class doing just that. Some of the kids chose their own names and I helped the others.

The boys: Tiger, Star, and George

The girls: Rina and Lily

You can guess who named themselves.
