Mandarin

Purple (紫色Zǐsè)  was the new color we learned this week and the

children were excited to try out the purple handbell.

The children also listened to the Mandarin version of "Go Away, Big

Green Monster!" by Ed Emberley. "The Big Green Monster has two big

yellow eyes, a long bluish-greenish nose, a big red nose with sharp

white teeth..." From listening to this story, the children reviewed

colors and our head's features. Each time they shouted "Go away!" (走开

Zǒu kāi), a facial feature of the monster disappeared.

Here is the video to the Mandarin version of the book:
