Animal friend ---2nd grade


2nd graders are having an assessment which is more like an activity about animal friends in Mandarin. They've been learning animal friends for 3 weeks. In the video, you can see when Ms. Chen spoke out the animal names in Mandarin, they will respond with their body gestures of that animal. They successfully acquiring  the language with the transfer from listening--decoding meaning (think in English)---express with body gestures. Please enjoy.
