Chinese Lesson #17 - Pets
We are learing about household pets. During circle time Mrs. Liston will be asking the children what type, if any pets you have in your home, as well as if they are cute. Have them practice saying I have a... at home, or, I do not have any pets in my home (see sentences below).
If the vocabulary word for your pet is not listed, encourage your child to ask us at school in chinese what the word is, e.g., lizard zhong wen zen ma shuo? {how do you say lizard in chinese?}
