This week at our Mandarin Motion Song and Story Time we will read 好饿的毛毛虫 (hǎo è de máo mao chóng) ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. We have all the food ready to feed our very hungry caterpillar!
This book is great for kids to make so many connections in Mandarin! It has days of the week, counting, and lots of different measure words to hear!
We can also sing along to these two cool Groovi Pauli songs , salsa to the fruit song, and listen to our bellies 咕噜咕噜叫 (gū lu gū lu jiào) ‘rumble’!
