Things I can do in Chinese

App 5: The Polyglots at the Circus

I have been learning Chinese using The Polyglots apps

Here are some of the things I have discovered in App 5: The Polyglots at the Circus:

This is a table that educators can use to share children's learnings with their families. It is a list of "I can…" statements. Each "I can…" statement has a scale that allows the educator to record how the child is progressing with App 1: The Polyglots in the Playroom.

The scale has three labels:

• Doing sometimes with assistance
• Beginning to do independently
• Regularly doing confidently

The first line states:

• I can name some body parts in Chinese. For example:

  头	Tóu	Head
  胳膊	Gēbo	Arm
  腿	Tuĭ	Leg
  脚	Jiăo	Foot

The second line states:

• I can say some parts of the face in Chinese. For example:

  眼睛’	Yănjing	Eye
  耳朵	Ĕrduo	Ear
  嘴巴	Zuĭba	Mouth
  鼻子	Bízi	Nose

The third line states:

• I can say something hurts in Chinese. For example:

  我的头疼！

  Wŏ de tóu téng!

  Oh! My head hurts!

The fourth line states:

• I can use some adjectives in Chinese. For example:

  大	Dà	Big
  小	Xiăo	Small
