Another Great Week for the White Frogs

Hello...Hello...Hello from the WHITE FROGS!  It was another week full of fun and learning for us.  We are back with lots of pictures about the week that was.  As usual, we were busy but the White Frogs always pull together and work as a team to get the job done!

This week was special because we took a little trip outside of school.  We went to the "World Costume Museum."  It was lots of fun and the weather was really nice.  We had  time to get some fresh air in the park and play with our friends before we went inside the museum.

We are all lined up and ready to go!  The class leader that day was Ezgi and she showed us the way to go.

Here we are at the museum.  The 1st floor has traditional costumes from lots of different countries around the world

There are also lots of interesting pictures from Turkey and other places.

The 2nd floor has  traditional costumes from different regions in Turkey.  

Everyone really like the Turkish costumes.  We thought they were so colourful and unique. What a fun trip we had!

Every week, as part of our English program we do some work from the "Happy House" book.  This week we continued the unit called "Bathtime."  We had a worksheet to complete, too.  We had to match the words that Spike and Ruby Mouse said to a picture on the top of the page.  Then we had to draw the picture in the right place.  It's almost like reading!  Our teacher told us what to do and we helped each other to finish a difficult worksheet.

Yağız, Boran, Melis and Ezgi are happy to show off their wonderful work.

Affan, Anday, Emir, Arda, way to go guys!

 Duru, Cansın and Ozan did a great job!

Kutay and İlker are all smiles about a job well done!

We also took time to practice a song about toys we are learning.  We sing and act out as well.  It's a lot of fun for us!

Well, that was a little bit about the week we had.  It was a full week but a pretty enjoyable week as well. We will back next week with more pictures.  We are really excited about next week because April 23rd is Children's Holiday in Turkey.  We are sure that it will be special week for everyone!! 

Goodbye for now!

 A big hello from white frogs this week...
            This week contains fun elements blended with potato related activities and online educative games.
                        To start with...

 ...we watched the story of quinine and learned how they produced the medicine out of plants.

 Afterwards, we played "how plants grow?" game on the computer. In order to help your plant grow, we learned supply our plant with enough water and heat. 

Watch out Affan you gave plenty of water!!

Another day, we made our own potato book with the potatoes we brought from home.

Hurray! How great it is to have your own potato book :)
                                                    We will save them for a rainy day :)

WHEW!  What a week!  :)We worked on Spring activities and learned a lot 

about the changes in Spring. We made observations and listened to the sounds of 

Nature in our Garden Time. .  :)  You can check out some of the cute centers 

that we worked on as well as a few theme activities below.

                                      We are working on a flower matching activitiy.

                                It seems that it is such an easy job for Emir that he matches them easily.

                                                   It is time to do some worksheets.

Here, we draw petals around circles as the numbers indicated on them. Duru is proud of herself because she completed her work succesfully.

                                          Affan is working hard on his activity.

                  Here we see another flower graph. These flowers are so colorful and beautiful. The aim is to sort the flowers by their colors and types.

Kids had too much fun while doing it. Furthermore, we repeated the names of the flowers such as; daffodil,  tulip, rose and daisy each time we sorted them.

Here it is:) We were able to complete the chart...

These are the some song suggestions which we think that you might enjoy.

Hope everyone has a GREAT week!

Art and colors

This week our topic was "branches of Art". In circle time we discussed about branches of art. It was clear that the kids enjoyed this theme because they used their creations.

Children loved to play with clay, molding it into all kinds of shapes in our ceramic room. By using clay, they did different kind of art objets such as flowers, mushrooms, a snowman and etc...

One of the most important branches of art is music. We created our orchestra.:)

         And of course we danced:)

And some photos of our garden time:)
