My Project

Students in Mandarin 1 will begin to learn food-related words, and what better way than using a childhood favorite storybook? We start the unit with The Very Hungry Caterpillar story. Then we'll use these games, which will allow students to practice and apply the words they've learned.

This is one of the students' favorite units in the year, as it involves food and brings back a lot of nostalgia from their childhood memories.

I also love doing this unit because it's a fun way to close out the end of the year for students!
