Another week has come and gone.  Spring has finally sprung!  The weather is getting warmer and sunnier and the White Frogs are happy and as hardworking as ever.
Our theme was ELEPHANTS.  We learned a lot of things about elephants.  For example:  Did you know that there are two types of elephants?  Asian and African.  African elephants have larger ears than their Asian cousins.  Why is that?  Well,  we learned that African elephants use their big ears to keep themselves cool in the hot African weather.  We also listened to some elephant songs and watched some stories about elephants.  We played some fun elephant games as well.  It was a busy week as usual.

Here we are doing a listeneing worksheet from "Happy House."  We always listen carefully to the instructions so that we know just what to do.

Then it was time to listen to the CD and complete the worksheet.  We listened to different sounds in order and had to put the correct number in a box next to the correct picture.  It sounds complicated but by now we are really good at doing this kind of work.  

Wait a second!  Is that a dinosaur I see?  Yes, it is.  We had a lot of fun during dinosaur week so we took a little time out to make a T-Rex.

Affan, Ezgi, Emir and Anday are giving Rex a nice coat of paint!

Ozan, Arda, Yağiz and Boran are doing their part as well.

                              Duru, Kutay, Melis and İlker seem to enjoy that sticky, gooey paint.

                                                                          Rex is all done!

TAAA-DAAA!  

                             There are smiles all around for a job well done.  Way to go White Frogs!

Well, that's it for another week.  We had fun, learned a lot and had a nice week at school with each other.  Our new theme will be the ARTS.  Let's see what fun we can have with that.  We will be back next week with more pictures and news.  Bye- Bye!
