2AU10【2203/04期77号北京Jeff】小西妈双语工程打卡21

自鸡的大鹏鸟

Feb. 25-Mar. 10, 2023 Ext. and Games of 2AU10 Rabbits and Hare

In 2A, there are a half of units talking about animals, which are Unit 4 Ants, 5 Birds, 7 Mole and Hen, 9 Spider, 10 Rabbits, and 11 Monkeys.

It’s time to learn a little more about animals, the classification. I have never explained to Jeff this scientific category, we will start to learn it in Chinese, by watching a documentary video and scientific cartoons, in parallel to extend it to English in the same ways plus the drawing and Sharpeners Skill practice.

1、Meet the Animals 一问一答科普类

2、了解动物分类 animals classification，主要了解脊椎动物的五种分类和典型代表动物。关于怎么讲，查阅了很多网络资源，和一些牛妈的打卡。最后做了一大篇中英文笔记放在备忘录里自己看，哈哈，这些点太专业了，学科知识至少是二年级以上生物课内容，我找了一些短小纪录片或科学动画，只打算挑典型特征（主要四点：冷血/温血或称变温/恒温，身体覆盖毛发、羽毛、皮肤、鳞片还是角质板，呼吸靠肺还是腮，胎生还是卵生，水生还是陆生）和代表动物，并且重点以中文介绍，英文做一些练习纸，来看看他能不能分清。

以下修改了几遍的英语解释，小朋友容易理解：

Mammals are warm-blooded, having fur or hair, and lungs to breathe air. They give birth to live [laiv活的] young, and produce milk to feed their babies. The examples are whales, monkeys, rabbits, mice, and us human beings.

Birds are warm-blooded, having the body more or less completely covered with feathers and the forelimbs modified as wings. They hatch from eggs like penguin, ostrich, duck, chicken, etc.

Reptiles are cold-blooded, having dry skin covered either with scales or horny plates角质板. They breathe using lungs and most lay eggs on land to breed. Reptiles alive today include lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and alligators.

Amphibians are cold-blooded, born in water. When they are born, they breathe with gills like fish. When they grow they develop lungs and can live on land. （having gilled aquatic larvae 水生幼虫and air-breathing adults）

Unlike reptiles, most amphibians possess a smooth, moist skin and lay their shell-less eggs in water or wet places. (such as frogs, toads, newts蝾螈or salamanders蝾螈) 

Fish live wholly in water and have gills腮, not lungs. They are limbless无肢的, cold-blooded, have scales鳞片 and fins (no fur or hair), and lay many eggs.

动物分类别指望孩子现在全都能明白，以后还会不断接触到，顺应孩子的认知特点慢慢来吧。

哪些动物生蛋蛋，哪些动物生小宝宝，他比较熟，这来源于从小看的绘本。

卷笔刀习题主要针对体表覆盖物animal coverings，在妈妈的辅导下分清fur, feather, scale, smooth skin, 和shell就非常不错了。

做一些作业纸，找宝宝或妈妈

3、Afterward, we can easily talk about the life cycle of a rabbit.

Get to know rabbit body parts, especially the harelip= cleft lip, long and strong back legs, which is why he can run so fast and jump so far.

When I said rabbit had a short tail, Jeff mentioned it’s a stubby tail. Super good, he got it from the skunk with no stripes.

4、认识野兔穴兔的不同，重点包括：

1）他们的家nests vs warrens和防卫方法running vs hiding（warren是什么，我们在下面玩赛跑游戏时会通过修建tunnel和burrow来记住）

2）小宝宝的不同eyes open with fur vs bare, blind and helpless

3）独居/成对生活与群居living by themselves or pair vs living in groups/colonies

4）食物略有不同：hard food vs rather soft

Hare are wild rabbits, while rabbits are just rabbits.

讲完当天没时间搭兔子窝，第二天早上送娃上学，在车里妈妈给他复述，讲龟兔赛跑，穴兔跳进兔子窝，Q&A玩穴兔和野兔妈妈找小宝宝口头游戏。Jeff喜欢搞怪，光一个“The Hare took off like a rocket, the Tortoise 吧唧”就让我重复了五六遍。趁机一人一句让他熟练输出“I am the fastest runner in the woods. I can take off like a rocket.”然后我搞怪说吧唧，我俩就欢乐一路。约好了周五放学没课外课，我们回家搭兔子窝玩狼兔赛跑。

5、准备了两天，重点玩龟兔赛跑和狼兔赛跑，来学习语言与兔子习性。

Play the game, combine two tales The Hare and the Tortoise, The Coyote and the Rabbit.

1) Tortoise refers to the ones live on lands. All tortoises are in fact turtles—that is, they belong to the order 目Testudines or Chelonia, reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell—but not all turtles are tortoises. The most important thing to remember about tortoises is that they are exclusively land creatures. Tortoises are generally vegetarians, while other turtles are omnivorous.

2) Turtles are an order of reptiles known as Testudines, characterized by a special shell developed mainly from their ribs. Modern turtles are divided into two major groups, the Pleurodira 侧颈亚目and Cryptodira曲颈亚目, which differ in the way the head retracts头部缩回. There are 360 living and recently extinct species of turtles, including land-dwelling tortoises and freshwater terrapins淡水龟. They are found on most continents, some islands and, in the case of sea turtles, much of the ocean. Like other amniotes 羊膜动物they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water.

3) When we play the coyote and the rabbit, we made four burrows for the rabbit. Then we immediately can understand 狡兔三窟.

“Hi Jeff, to play the game, let’s help the rabbits to build their warren first. A warren consists many tunnels and burrows because the rabbits live in a big family, here we need at least 4 burrows, OK? Our rabbit family has 4 brothers.”

“OK, let’s dig up a tunnel first underground.”

We use Lego boards and blocks, styrofoam plate and small stools to build an underground warren.

After we are ready, we take our pet little turtle and toy rabbit to have a hare and tortoise race first.

I was the Tortoise, Jeff was the Hare.

先在b站上看了好可爱的动画片，每句都不难能学，还学会一个深刻的道理:

Being slow but steady wins the race. It’s not over until it’s over.

Long long ago (long time ago, once upon a time), there lived a hare and many animals in the woods. Hare was loud and liked to brag a lot.

Hare always laughed at the other animals, “I am the fastest animal/runner of all/in the woods. Why are you so slow?” “Get out of my way, you slow ones!” sometimes he was very rude.

The other animals didn’t like him but no one was willing to challenge him.

One day the quiet shy tortoise met Hare and said, “I will race you.”

“You must be joking/kidding me. You are so slow/the slowest animal of all/You are not as fast as I am. I’ll beat you for sure.”

“I am not joking,” said the Tortoise.

So the next morning, they started a race.

Animals from near and far gathered to watch this race.

Hare and Tortoise were at the starting line.

After the frog said “ready, steady/set, go”, Hare took off like a rocket. He ran past Tortoise and shouted, “good-bye, Tortoise, See you at the finish line.”

Tortoise walked slowly on his way and he said, “I will not listen to Hare. Whatever he says, I will just keep going.”

Hare was near the finish line. When he looked back, he could not see the Tortoise.

“Silly race, I will definitely win it even I take a nap.”

So Hare stopped to eat some carrots and took a nap. He lay down and fell asleep soon under a tree.

Meanwhile Tortoise walked all day, he was very slow, tired but he didn’t stop. After long time, he passed the sleeping Hare and crossed the finish line.

The crowd cheered which woke up Hare. Hare saw Tortoise already raised the trophy and won the race.

”How could this happen? No…” Hare was very upset and shamed. Ever after he never bragged again.

Some days later there came a coyote, who also liked to brag. He asked Rabbit to have a race with him too.

“I am the fastest animal in the woods. Let’s have a race, and I will beat you.” Coyote said.

Rabbit knew he could not win but he was very smart. He ran to his three brothers and said, “No need to panic, I have a good idea, let’s trick Coyote. We hide in our own burrows, at every stop where Coyote will be, one of us will jump out and be ahead of him.”

“Hooray,” his brothers agreed.

The next day, Rabbit said to Coyote, “I will run underground in the tunnel.”

“This is fine/Whatever/No problem, anyway I can run faster than you.” Then the race began.

Coyote dashed off. And Rabbit jumped into a hole. Coyote ran very fast then he stopped to rest. A rabbit came out of a hole ahead of him, which surprised Coyote very much. Coyote ran faster then he stopped to rest again, a rabbit came out of a hole ahead of him again, it was another one of Rabbit’s brothers, Coyote can’t believe it. He ran even faster. But the same thing happed. So Coyote ran as fast as the wind. Rabbit ran too. This time he ran out of the last hole and won the race. Since then, Coyote never bragged again.
