Things I can do in Italian

App 5: The Polyglots at the Circus

I have been learning Italian 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 Italian. For example:
    La testa Head
    Il braccio Arm
    La gamba Leg
    Il piede Foot

The second line states:

  • I can say some parts of the face in Italian. For example:
    L’occhio Eye
    L’orecchio Ear
    La bocca Mouth
    Il naso Nose

The third line states:

  • I can say something hurts in Italian. For example:
    Mi fa male la testa! Oh! My head hurts!

The fourth line states:

  • I can use some adjectives in Italian. For example:
    Grande Big
    Piccolo Small

Here is a picture of my favourite new word from App 5:
