In Mandarin in G5 we are learning to:
1. Say the words of migration in Mandarin
2. Ask and answer questions about migration in Mandarin
3. Write a bio about the migration of one’s family in Chinese characters
This is the integrated unit in Grade 5 with the classroom teachers. The students will have an opportunity to apply previous knowledge to create new sentences about themslves and their families. In datails, the words of migration are:

I have made a set of cards on Quizlet (quizlet.com or download the app for phone or ipad) to help your child practice learning the words of migration.
Search for laoshilinda (all one word lower case) and then choose migration.
