Blues night!

we went to the Andy's pub for listen music.

We had a good fun with Elişka. And we meet one of our neigbour they know us because of the barbecu party(: It was the best performance which ı listen in my life!

Theater in Mollen

I, Elişka and Hans went to Mollen to watch ''Overlevelsesturen- Den Mærkeling Cafe''. The first part was very comlicated. And also they spoke in Danish. but in the first time there wasnt lots of act, only speech. Second part was too good. We didnt understand anything but ıt was funny and Hans translated for us something.

This group was very amateur because sometimes they forgot to what they said. So they used suflör ( ı didnt find English word but ıt means who said your sentences when you forget in theater ). And the building was very old. so ıt make the atmosphere very mysterious.

some video form school visit for fun

last week for school visit

This week was really good. I was too difficult to say goodbye. But ıt is not finished yet. I will stay in here 1 month longer then tha others so ı want to the visit them again.

What did I this week?

- Frog: frog's babies were getting bigger they moved and like a little fisk. We watched to evolition of frog together.

- Theater in Sfo:In sfo they prepared some drama which one is written from teachers. they used some famous story and they mixed them, put together. It was guite long but enjoyable.

- Special needs: We made some activities for children who need special needs. Every thursday pedagog comes and they do some language activities. this week subject was body parts, clothes and colors.

-23 april: 23 april is a international children festival in my country. This festival is very important because ıt is the first festival for children in the world. But here, nobody know this. But ı remembered, in 23 april some Danish children came to my country for children festival. Any way ı cooked almost 100 köfte ( ıt is a Turkish food, meat ball), bulgur which one ı cooked in cooking lesson and ayran ( ıt is kind of drink from yoğurt. yoğurt, water and some salt). I was very tired because in kindergarden there was 50 children and teachers (: But ıt make me very happy because the children liked the food. And they learn how they said ' food was good'. So they said to me together. ı think ı was the best present for a teacher (:

But ıt was not finished. because every children draw something for me. Lots of girls draw me like a princess so ı almost cried. ıt was my lasy day so everybody gived me big hugs. I am very happy to go this kindergarden. Teachers and children has very important place in my heart.thank you very much for everything.....

Mr ghost, welcome to my house!

After the barbecu party, something was wrong our house. We heart some voice in the house and some times we locked the door but in the morning ıt was open. So we generally sit with Elişka and our precious pepper gas sprey (: And this day elişka went to meet her friend so ı was alone at home. Elişka called to Lilla to stay with me at home. Lilla came and we started to write somthing our webblog in the living room. I dont know why but we went to the up stairs. Maybe we were too bored so.Before that time we spoke about what is happing in this house. Lilla's theory was about ghost. It made me too scared. And then we decided to check to house. We saw a door for roof floor. we decided to go up. It was too bad because ı dont know why but ı was the first people to go up. Why Lilla? anyway we didnt find anything ofcourse but we are still afraid. we have lots of video but ıt ıs not good to show under 18 aged (: so thats all. mojn!

barbecu party!

We made a barbecu party after trip. We were very tired but we need to spend time together. After the school visit weeks we really missed each other. so ı cant imagine when the everybody will come their home ): We had a such a good time. We danced together and we were drank together (: thank you very much for coming. And thank to Elişka. Because ı was drank so after the party she cleaned to everywhere alone! Next time ı will do it. (:

Aarø

After the say goodbye to Noemi and Mate, we went to a little ısland which one is very close to Haderslev. It was very pretty ısland. when we saw a signboard which was said ' jettevikinger', we laught a lot. Vikings were everywhere and also new fashion vikinger's name Jette. (: She drove for us with a red car. She made us a suprise. She bought some drinks for us. It was too good. We walked around the ısland, beach and we tried to enjoy spent time together.

Spring is coming with sandals without socks.

Haderslev's weather is nearly 15 degree. It s not enough warm for Turkish people (: And the weather is very good for Danish people.I saw lots of people with shorts, tshirts and sandals at 15 degree. I cant believe my eyes! Its like summer for them. In Turkey, we generally wear tshirt at 30 or 25 degree. And sandal at 35 degree maybe more. So ıt looks to me very strange. When ı was walking on the street, ı was looking to others people clothes and shoes very seriously. So they can think ı am mad (: It s kind of shock for me (:

and ı think ı cant wear my sandals here, because the weather never will be 35 degree (:

Language course in Bus (:

I went to Kindergarden by bus everyday. But buses were different than Turkey. First, They have women bus driver. It was too strange for me. Because in Turkey all the bus drivers are men. I dont know why? But maybe because of the bad trafic. In Turkey,Driving a car is very stress happen. You must be carefull. Lots of cars in the road and roads are not too good for driving. And drivers always angry ): Sometimes they are shouting to each other and also use some dirty words. In Denmark, Bus drivers are very calm. They are listening to classic music. And In Turkey, bus drivers are not educated so they usually listen kic music. It is awful. And I said to driver '' ı cant speack Danish'' He answer me 4 languages, German language, Danish, Italian and English.! He knows 4 languages and he is bus driver! In Turkey, ıf you know 4 language you can be profesof in the university (:

And when ı were in bus ı felt myself very special. Because sometimes, there wasnt any passengers expect me. In Turkey, especially morning, the buses are very crowded. Sometimes you cant get in because they are full.

So ı like travell by bus in Denmark! Its kind of culture shock for me.... Mojn!

easter!

Easter... What did I easter? It was guite lonely because everbody went somewhere. So ı tried to make new friendship. I went to the Andy's pub alone for lots of nights. He is very nice man. He gave me some English books for read. And ı met lots of people in there. But my favourite pupil is Mbuyu. She is half African, half Danish. We spent realy good time together. I met with Mbuyu's mother. And ı will stay her house for my last month. She works in Activitiy House. I can say '' she is an artist!'' she does something with glass. They are perfect.

And dont know anybody in Andy's pub. But ı felt ı am at home. They were realy friendly and safetly people. In Turkey, ı forget to trust to people a long time ago. But suddenly, everythings were change. This feeling is very important for my life. I am very happy to find it in Denmark!Noemi teached me how can ı paint to egg. It was very difficult but realy good. Thank you Noemi!

We did lots of girls part at our house. I,Elişko and Lilla... we had good fun. We cooked together and listen to music, laughing. We were drank together (:

We went to the wild park with Elişka. We walked nearly 5 km. It was crazy. And we only saw a group of animals but they were too far away than us. But we had a goog fun. We tried to come back with hitchhiking. But nobody picked up us. So we walked nearly 4 hours ):

Elişka and I, cut our hair. Because hairdresser is too expensive here. So we decided to cut our hair our own. It was good fun.

5.day

Children's portfolios

Every child has a file. In the file, there are lots of drawing by file's owner, some activies picture, letters from childrens family, some notes by kindergarden teacher. And everypaper have a date. They

are watching to children's evulation with their portfolios. When the child want to leave the kindergarden, they give the portfolio to parents. And parents give it to primary school's teacher.

It s kind of continuous happen. And the other teacher can learn something about children devolepment and caracterstic. So the next teacher can know her/his classroom feature. So teacher can prepare some activities which one is the same level with classroom. We have the similar things in Turkey for kindergarden. But always teacher choose something to put in portfolios. So the teacher only choose good drawings and successful works because teacher want to look '' good teacher'' But ıt s not good. In Denmark, kids just said ' ı want to put it' and they put. In Turkey children can not touch the files. Because they can impair the files.And in the end the files have to be perfect! Anyway in Turkey, portfoilos' means nothing. But expect my classroom (: I hope ı will be good teacher for children not for family!

Happy easter

We prepared some activities for easter. First the children cut some chicken pictures. And the teacher wrote a letter for children but from chicken (: All the children meet a big room. And than teacher read the letter. Children was laughing and ı can understand from their eyes, they were really happy. We sang some children songs about easter in Danish of course. Before that time we put some egg on the garden. We tried to put egg easy place because after the letter they will try to find to egg. After the letter, the children went to the garden for find to egg, ıt was realy good fun for them and also for me. It was my first easter. So ı was very excited. Everybody found a egg and than we sit in the garden and ate the egg. But it was not real egg. It was better than real egg. Because ıt was chocolate with a little toy (:

Massage for little foot

There is a little girl in kindergarden. She is nearly 3 years old. So she goes to sleep everyday after the lunch. But she has a diffrent habit. She cant sleep without massage to her foot. Today I wanted to the try to make massage. I never tried before. But in Denmark we had a special need lesson .And we learned how can we do massage. And she let me to do massage. I did massage. And after 8 minutes she falled asleep. I can say '' ı know how can ı do massage'' (:

Friday Cafe in Kindergarden

Every friday, kindergarden has a friday cafe for parents and childrens. Childrens parents come and than they spent time with their children. They eat cake and drink coffee and they speak with each others and teachers. ıt is realy good system for communation. I will do it when ı will be teacher. Mojn!

4.day

• Special needs

At this kindergarden 4 children need special needs. 3 children, one of parents from another country. So they listen two languages. They have some problem about Danish language for example they dont know how can they say one car ( bill) or two cars.In danish ıf you want to say two cars, the word is chanching so you must listen too much for learning. And special needs programme was about language,words,concentrate, cognizance and forecasting . One child has some psychological problems. He cant communicate the other people and he cant concentrate. He just lives him world. So teachers want to combine to him with the other children.

Pedagogist came nearly at 10 oclock. And she did some activities for two children. She comes to kindergarden one times of week.Generally they do the activities for all special needs children but today they only did activies for two children.First activity was like memory card. She put the cards on the table. ( 2 bill card, 2 cykell. 2 bus....) they choosed a card and than they tried to find the same card. And the pedagogist said one bill after when they find the other card she said two bill. And they learn the pronounciation to plural things and also learned vehicles' names.

Second acitivity was about vechiles, again and where can we use this vechiles. There was a book to put some pictures in it. She give some pictures to children. And children try to find the true place to put the pictures.And than they had a activitiy about using the breath. They tried to drive to cars with breath.And some activities for guess. But ıt was really strange.Because we do the similar activities for every children. Our day, in kindergarden(Turkey), start with free activitiy and than we do some activities like this for every children.They only use this activities for children who need special needs. I think, all children must know this. So In Turkey we do the similar activities everyday. I can understand now why we need the plan in Turkey. Because also pedagog had a plan for this 20 minutes. We must do this for all day.

• Theater

today, blue group showed the performance to other children. They were realy excited and successful.

• Fjelstrup Boornehuset Læreplan 2008-2011

They have a plan for give the goverment and also families.ıt has got 20 pages. Because they need to know kindergarden's teaching method. They prepare a plan for 4 years with pedagogs. They must give this plan to families. They use Howard Gardner's theory for teaching and also they use '' Jonh Bowlby,Erik Erikson, Sigmund Freud,Margaret Mahler, Jean Piaget, Vygotskij....''

The plan has 6 main topic. Every topic has some keywords. And what kind of activities they will do and finally what the children will learn.

• Personality intelligence
• Social intelligance ( sociale kompetencer)
• Language intelligence ( sproglig)
• Cultural and visuel intelligence ( kulturelle/musiske+rummelig visuel)
• Nature and logistic, mathematical intelligence ( natur+ logisk matematisk/rummelig visuel)
• Movement of motor intelligence ( krop-bevægelse/ kropslig/motorisk)

I learned lots of detail about this plan. If you are interested in this plan , please contact with me.Mojn!

3.day

• Cake for Friday

Today, children and a teacher cook a cake together for Friday. Because on friday, parents come to kindergarden every Friday to speak the others childrens parents, teachers and also they spend time with their children. So they have a big cake, coffee for adult and fruit juice for children. But important thing was cooking together. They learned how they can understand something's weight without measuring instruments. For example they use one full spoon of cinnemon.And the chilren repaited all the things. They can realise cake is not natural things. Because when ı was a child, ı thougt, breed trees, furniture trees (: Because ı went to kindergarden 6 years old and we had some teror problem in Turkey. So my family didnt let me go out in my childhood. Now we have the same activitiy in Turkey. We made something at Kindergarten. But lots of kindergardens havent got kitchen so ıt s guite difficult activitiy.

• Routine Activities Of Kindergarden

Routine activities are very important for children. They can realise their time and adapted their normal life. At 6.45 to at 11.00, they play free but the teachers always do some activities for children but the children are free to join this activities.

At 11.00, is their lunch time. They have some lunch boxes for lunch. Parents prepare to lunch boxes for children everyday. The lunch is tradational Danish. Lots of children have some brown breed with eggs or with jam. The brown breed is healty, I know this. But ıt think, warm food for example soup is healty than sandiwiches.And kindergarden give milk for children. Before the lunch, they are singing some Danish children songs.

After the lunch, all the children go the the toilet for tisse (: They wash their hands. And than they wear their clıothes their own. Some children are younger than the others so youngers wear their sleeping clothes and go to sleeping. The others children wear their clothes for garden. They go to garden for 1 hour. They sleep nearly 20 minutes. When they wake up they wear their gardan clothes and go to the garden.

• Garden

Garden is to important for children's physical development. They always go to garden. The weather is not important. They use their body and they learn something about nature. they have some ground place, sandy place and some concrete place for cycling. And this day we saw some ladybugs and lots of diffrent bugs. They didnt afraid of touch to bugs. They learn ' ladybugs' name. I dont remember now Danish name. And we have a children song about ladybug ı song this song for children.

song: 'Uç, uç böceğim annen sana terlik pabuç alacak.' ıt means ' fly, fly my bug. Your mother will buy you slipper and shoes.' and at 14.30 they have some fruits from home again. Kindergarten close at 16.45. Mojn!

Second day,

Cutting papers.

I woke up very early because ı must go with bus.It was strange. Because, bus driver was female. In Turkey ıt ıs not possible.cultural shock again (: I arrived Kindergarden at 8.00. First activity was cutting papers. But they use realy good system. First day, ı didnt understand anything but ı can realise second day. The teacher only said '' ok, paper is here. I want to cut something. Who want to cut with me? '' And than children came and started to cut. But ın Turkey the children dont use to this. We do some activitiy together. Small group and big group. If you say who want to this in Turkey, children prefer to play with toys. And nobody cut. The system, and children are very different than Turkey. And this activitiy is very important for physical development. They can learn how can use their fingers.And than teacher sticked cutting papers on window who was from children. And children proud of their cutting papers. And they said '' It s mine. I did it. I am successful.'' So in Denmark children have really strong self confidence. In Turkey, family, especially mothers always do something for children. They think ı help my children. But ıt s not true. Because ıf they do everthing, children cant learn. So ıt ıs a tradationally thing. we live with our family forever (: If you marry, you can move another home. But ıf not, you must live with your family. You have jop or your life, ıt is not important. And difficult things ıf you live with yor family you must do what they want. Their rules,their opinion... So you cant understand who ı am? Because you live with your parents's right. So when the children grow up and they go to the university another city, life is being too difficult so lots of university student because of this return back to their parents city and stop to education. Because they use to live their parents. When the students are free, they dont know what they can do?. So everythings start in childhood.

Lego time!

The second activitiy was Lego! The teacher put the legos kitchen table. And children came and said '' ooo we will do lego '' They looked the pictures and try to build a ship, some soldiers and same monsters. They really spent too much time with lego. They can learn to use their brain and also concentrated. And teacher used very clever way. Teacher teached the children numbers and colours. For example she said '' we need to find 5 brown part of lego '' And children found the part of lego. Building the ship was really difficult. But children found quickly what they must do. I think because of Denmark. It is lego paradise (: Another strange thing was they did it on the kitchen table. In Turkey, we respect to table which one is using for eating. So ıf you sit on table ıt is very unpolite.

And the same time, some children can play alone or another things. When they were bored, they just went and did some different things. They were too free.Important thing was they have really good materials for teach something. They prepared to room. And than children realised and ask questions. Look at this picture. They have lots of good things ; diffirent mirrors, paiting place,.... I think they are very lucky. When ı saw this materials,

ı want to be a child again..

Before the lunch time, my group how call blue had some prepared for theater for the others. But they didnt show today (: Wait and see. Mojn...

Børnehuset,Fjelstrup

First day in KindergardenFist day, They wrote our names on board. It was very pretty. We visited to Sfo. They had some art activities. First, teacher paint to children hands and than children put their hand on the paper. It was good fun for children. Sfo has got lots of activities room. For example, video room. If the chilren want to watch films or cartoon, they can use this room. And also they can choose the film what they want. In the room, on the television there was a cam for watch the children. Because ıt ıs not good to watch film full day. And sfo has two computers for children. But every children can use the computer 15 minutes for a day. They play some computers games. But they are very useful computers game. Game teaches to chilren colours, body parts and everything for use normal day.

And than we returned to kindergarden.Kindergarden' director gave us some information about time table.The kindergarden open at 6.30 and close at 16.45. At 11.00, they children eat their lunch. (they have some lunch boxes from home.We have the same thing some kindergarden. But ıt ıs completely diffrent. The teacher prepare some food list for family. Because the children must be eat some healthy things. Also we have a lesson at the university for teacher about healthy eating. So they have some responsibility about food. And than parents prepare what teachers want. It is good because all the children eat the same food so we havent got any argument between the children. If the one child wants to eat friend's food, ıt is very difficult problem. So ı think ıt is the good and healthy way.) at 12.00 , after the lunch they go to the garden for one hour. The weather is not important to go outside. I think ıs very good. Because the children need to go outside everyday. And also they can understand seasons and they can discover something with different weathers. For example after the rain they can see earthworm and meet lots of little animals. but ı felt a little bit dissapointment. Because teachers didnt do any activities for children. Children played free all the day. So ı thought the children can not learn anything. And the teachers like babysitter. But ı am sorry about my thinking. I understood this teaching method second day. Because the spoke in Danish so ıt looked outside very empty but ıt ıs not...Second day was better than firt day. So wait to read second day! mojn!

music lesson with Danish student

Music lesson was good with erasmus student because we did some rhytms and singing. But ıt was different and also difficult with Danish student. Because they generally spoke in Danish. So ıt was difficult for me. And they sing Danish songs so It was 2 times difficult for me (: And the lesson started at 14.10 and finished at 17.00. It was too long time for music. Every lesson, student prepared some song and teach the all the other student. ıt was good practice for them. They learned how can they use their hands to administrate to music. But all the students were old nearly 29. I didnt understand why? And the last lesson they had a exam. they were very stress. ıt was my first time to see stress in Denmark (:

art lesson- collage and all the works (:

everybody want to History!

I though, history lesson was not enough hour for us. And than ı wrote a mail to Jette. I know, she always carry about us so we had second last history lesson! Subject was second world war... He is very objective so ı liked to listen something from him. and he respect to everbody. I am not interested history too much but ı liked to listen history from him. I think he had a different teaching method. And ıt was very original. he used him voice very well. He choosed the topic which one can make us excited. Everybody was active in this lesson and ı learned lots of thinks about the other countries.

danish lesson

who is hiding under your mask?

It is my favourite lesson .Everbody know, ı will stay here 4 mounth. Last mounth, ı hope ı will join lots of drama lesson. It will be very usefull for me. Because ıf you want to be kindergarden teacher, first of all you must learn how can use your body. And than you can teach to children. It is not just for teacher, ı think everybody need this lesson. First activitiy was rhythm with plastic glass. But this time we sit on the ground and we tried to remember rhythm which one did last lesson. And than we did some rhythm with our body. It was fantactic. I know lots of rhythm with body. ( because ı had drama lesson two terms. ) But everytime ıt makes me excited. And than we learned very tradational Danish dance with accordion. First Linda teached us how can we dance. And than she played accordion and Flemin sing a song. We danced together. We learned lots of different dance. It was not too difficult so ı can teach to children. It was very enjoyable. The last dance we changed our partner every 1 minutes so ıt was guite difficult. But funny and very good. We sing some songs. Main activitiy's youngester : Embryo! We wear some mask. Linda and Flemin put some matarials on the ground. we lied down like embryo. When the music was staring, we woke up and tried to find ourselves. We used to matarials and danced slowly and tried to communicate to eacher other without voice. Wearing maske was very good for me. Because sometimes ı feel, everbody look at me so ı cant be relax to acting or singing or playing. But with maske, ı was free,nobody had got a facial expression so ı think ı explained myself very well.

Last activitiy, we listened to music and we made two groups. And than we create a story about music and than we acted together. Watch and see! -P.S. : ı am snake (:

golabalisation ann citizenship with Henrik Bækgaard

First day, everybody was sleeping(: So we were only 7 people in the classrom. So we spoke about democracy in the circle.First, Henrik wrote a massege for us to watch Obama's speech and read. We watched with Mate, Noemi. But ıt was really difficult to understand so ı watched it again, in Turkish (: We tried to find personal, national, global sentences in Obama's speech. And than we discussed together. Henrik gived us some key words and task 1: Consider how the education system in your country? We prepared something about our education system how teach to democracy and citizenship. Also we used key words which words in Obama's speech. I will put in blackboard a few days later. I and Canan spoke about ' How the Turkish people learn to being a good citizenship ' .I can give the main topics:

* with culture

*jurament which we read everyday in primary school.

*school trip

*military

*civic lesson - ıts about human rights. They learn their rights and how can protect my rights.

Henrik gived us another task. It was about pocket movie. But We were very tired because this week we had lots of Globalisation and citizenship lessons. So we made a video together in Christina's home. In the poket movie, all the people want to eat last piece of cake. So ıt was really warm place. We was trying to find some solution and than we decided to share the cake. But first of all, we voted who want to share.And than democracy was win. So we shared cake. Happy End (:

And we watched some films and clips. They was about values and citizenship. I feel shame at my civic lesson. Because we didnt use any songs or movies. We generally read and speak about the texts. But I think ıt s not usefull for the students. So lots of students dont enjoy civic lesson.In here, student are very active. They need to read and watch and also search something about lesson. Because lesson is very interesting.Anyway we watched lots of film's part and clips ( eartsong, where is the love? )

And last task and last lesson, ''what challengas do you consider to be some of the biggest to day''

we create some groups. My group members are Elişko,Gosia and Lilla. we finished our presentation in classroom but we didnt speak about this. But I m sure Gosia will put it in blackboard.We spoke about Muhammed cartoons. I have lots of questions in my brain. So ı must think about this. Because we dont speak about people's belief. But here we speak everything so ıt is a little big heavy for me. If ı will found my answers, ı will write again.. mojn! Tak for the lesson Henrik...

Citizenship and globalisation with Torbjørn Ydegård

After the drama day, we had lesson with Torbjørn. It ıs very different for me becuse we had the same lesson but, with two different teachers. ıt is really good idea because their teaching sytle are different than each other. And we listened to lesson two different ways. I missed to first lesson because ı must go to Sonderborg for my visa. But Torbjørn was summarizing to the last lesson. So ı am lucky (: We spoke about pre modernity, modernity, late modernity and post modernity.I think important point in here was learning. In pre modernity, learning is about 'believing'.I think, ıts a kind of being blind. Dont ask any think, only believe and do something what they are want. and the main building church, of course. In modernity, learning is about trying. the main building is school ıt s better than premodernity. In late modernity, learning is about reflecting /by heart. It s not bad but not enough.The main order is rationality. In post modernitiy, learning is about taking an idea and letting it become the central theme of the scene. It ıs about selfstory, too.In here main subject 'my world' so ı think ıt is the best way. but for now, unfortunately. Because the period is always change and improved ıtself. So ı really wonder the future time (:

And democracy.. Democracy is a part of Globalisation. I can summarize democracy meaning;

*ınfluencer people-goverment

*freedom of speech ( Muhammed's cartoon) / yes ıt s impoartant for democracy but ı think, respect is important, too. I cant say, they not have to draw something. I know, ıts freedom. But ıt was really hurt me so ı thought ıf somebody want to draw some comic about religions, ıts not necessary to show all the world. I dont know..., after to speak with Henrik, my ideas is getting mix. But ıt means is good. I need to think about this./

*freedom of movement

*freedom of religion

*power come from people

*some rigts for all

*voting

*tolarence

And than we speak about 'Poper's Matrix'. We spoke about, individualism, collectivism,egoism and altrusim. and we learned how they are working in time period.

At the democracy, ıf we want to montajto democracy with this 4 word, It s being a circle. guarter circles are in.-ego. , in.-alt. ; coll.-ego., coll.-alt.

and than we meet with a question '' how can the school help us to use democracy? ''

ıts look like a easy question ı know, but ıf you think about this very deeply you can understant, ıt s not easy question.

ı think democracy is started with family. And than school. If the family dont be democratic ıt s very difficult for children. Because children will learn democracy in school,but the in home another sytem is working. So education is too important. In Turkey, ıt ıs very big problem. Some families live in the village and they dont know anything about democracy because they are not educated. when the their children went to school, children learn something about democracy. But ıt snot working at home! So lots of children have some problems ıf they live in small village. And also they need some special needs.

About school, we have lots of choice to teaching of democracy. Working pairs, science ( children can think democraticly with science )critical.....

Another lesson, we used different learning style.We didnt use any technological materials. We create 4 groups. And than we found a problem about learning democrasy. We prepare a theory and sign. Torbjørn wrote all of them on the blackboard. And than we discussed together. What was good for learning democracy, what was not enough to learn democrasy. I want to share my group's ( elişko and me) idea. -about kindergarden;

*Every classrom need some rules to make easy the classrom life. But every clasroom have diffrent habits.So it likes the small country. First day, teacher and children can decide rules together. Because ıf the children can choose the rules, they respect the rules and follow the rules. They are their own rules. ıf the rules can not work they can change the rules.It is very democratic.

*Teacher behavior is too important. Because ıf you love teacher,you love school,you love your classrom. So teacher must be democratic ıf he/she wants to teach democracy. ı want to give an example, in my first lesson in my deperment, ı learned this ' If you want to communicate with children, you must be in the same line with children. If you sit bigger chair than the children. They feel ' you are the boss in this school' so always try to the same line with children.And connect with eyes.

*The children must learn to wait their turn. So in my country we have lots of activities for this subject. I think group working, play games with big group can teach to waiting their turns.

*ıf the children have some arguments, teacher can not solve this problem for them. Teacher only a leader. So teacher can help them. For example, teacher can ask some question ' what do you feel when your friend take to your toy. or If somebody take to your toy what do you feel and now what can we do? you want to plat the same toy.' And than children can solve problem. Some kindergarten are have camera in classrom. And teacher use the camera for arguments. Take the cassette and watch the happening with children. They have a change to watch theirself outside. ıt was really good lesson, but ı think we need to learn something. To listen each other and respect.But generally the lesson was good. I feel myself very relax, because you can say what do you want or what do you think.

And another lesson we watch some films( but not fuul film) about democracy. And we spoke about the films. which films we watched? -'Take The Lead', ' Dead Poets Socienty ', 'Pink Floyd- The Wall ', 'Freedom Writers', 'Dangerous Minds ', 'Monalisa Smile ', 'Patch Adam's ', 'Marshall Rosemberg's speech' Important point '''observation, feelings, needs, wishes'''' It is your choise.You can choose to change your idea or not. It s up to you!

Aabenraa, drama with Linda and Flemming

We woke up early and we travelled by Mate's and Noemi' s car, of course. I think ı am very lucky to live with them because we go everywhere together, play Bonanza and Noemi is very good cooker, and also Mate is professional eating man (: so ı tried Chinesee food!Anyway, we arrived quickly and than first activity was Icebreaking and game session. We know each other, but they didnt know ours names so we played some games to learn name. Everythings is ok now. Isnt ıt? But Linda.. She is crazy! She did some rhythms and say songwhich is the 'we will rock you' and say ours names in the same time! It was very difficult. But she is not good at the remembered names so ı helped her (: we did some ryhthms with plastic glass. we used to drums for put the glass (: but dont worry we tried to play at the break :p

After the break, we carried the imaginary heavy thing and than light thing. Anja was very creative. She put the ligh thing in her pocket and than give it to Noemi in her ear (: We played some games about contact and communation without voice. And than we did some picture with group but my group's word was very difficult so nobody understood what we was doing (:

The last important activitiy SAMBA! We tried to do samba music. We used different musical instruments and different rhythms for each instruments. My rhytm was very difficult for me. Gosia tried to teach to me. Butıt was not successful. 'sorry' and tak Gosia! The next time ı will choose another instrument (:

And we learned some songs, of course. so ı want to finish my words with lyrics 'tissemyretissemaend' (: (: mojn!

'cooking and eating together' party (:

Have you ever think, one lesson can feed you ? no... But now yes! We have a cooking lesson,Cooking Danish and international food ! ı tested Hungarian and Czech food before. But this day was very different. Everybody tried to cook their best food. I and my assistant Canan cooked Burgur which is Mate and Noemi 's favaourite. We prepared a very nice dinner table. My favourite is Hungarian foods, again. If you eat Hungarian food, you never say stop to yourself So the end was not good(:And polish cheseecake, Anja's apples, Spain omlet.. I am getting hungry now (: afiyet olsun!

international week!

first day... All the first days are important for our life. First ı meet Portugal's people. And ı'm sure ı never forget them. They are very nice people. They gived us some gift for dont forget them. And I kissed alot them because we have the same culture.. KISS YOUR FRİENDS!First day we meet with a game. Write your name on the middle of paper and than write some words about you.And we try to find what does meaning this words in your life. So ı never forget 'EGG' (: We had music lesson.International students learned ' hej, goddag, hello, gutan tag,welcome, buonos dias!' we shared the same fate together (: And our history teacher who is my favourite meet to us with Haderslev historical place. But the waeather was raining ) We had lots of activities! I didnt understand how to finished this weekend. But I know every end is a new begining so ıt was special week for all of us. My favourite day was erovision song contest day! It was really funny and everbody prepared something from their countury. When ı cant imagine to live another country ( because ıt ıs very difficult in Turkey so abroad is only dream for the university's student ), ı meet lots of countries culture and people. It was guite special for me.

and time to say goodbye... ıt was very difficult. We had a party in Christina's home. '' tak Christina'' everbody said goodbye.. ı miss them. THANK YOU for eveything...

ıts my presentation and also portfolio. If I had some long time, ı can draw lots of things.(:but dont worry. ıt ıs to be continued..

And ı want to say say something about misunderstand. I and Elişka prepared a presentation about ourself for international week. We spent lots of time to make a film. So ı thought ı can put in here (: good fun!

art lesson

art lesson... Its a great lesson. Our teacher is very pretty woman, openmind, skilfull, considerate and funny. In Turkey, some of art teachers want to do their idea. But she always respect the others idea. So we have choise and freedom! I learned some diffent tecnic, ı dont know the name but we use some plastic and than special ink. I always enjoy the art lesson expect first day. because the other student had some preparation for exam so they spoke in Danish. ıt was guite bored.But the other lessons were really good. We paint our portrait and we used lots of different ways. For example we tried to draw 5 minutes and than with colours and mirror. It was excellent!

important point: we use lots of colours and some pencils, our teachers gived us. It ıs not possible in Turkey. You always must buy your colours and papers. After the lesson she gived us papers and said ' maybe you want to draw something in your house'. ıt was great. And we can use the art clasroom when we want. And I used the clasroom a few days ago. Free coffe, bathroom, lots of rooms for some tecnics... I can spent 1 month in art building:) Tak for everything!

language and identity

my language portrait

Danish : ı choosed blue colour for this language. Because the weather is generally cold in Denmark. I paint my foot. If you want to somewhere here, espacially shop, you must know some word in Danish. If you dont know some Danish word, you can buy something wrong like me (: And I paint my thorat. Because Danish pronounciation is very difficult for me (:

Hungarian : I choosed red coluor because of PAPRİCA (: My housemates, Noemi and Mate, are from Hungary. And they use paprica every meal. I realy like the Hungarian food(: So ı paint my stomach. Cosonom Neomi and Mate! PS : If you eat Hungarian meal, you never stop. ı dont know why? After the meal, you can see my big stomach like Garfield.

Czech Republıc : I choosed this coluor because ı think ıts the best coluor for Elişka who is my housemate.And also ı paint my stomach because she cooked some Czech tradational foods.

English: I choosed this coluor because of beer. If ı drink alot, ı can speak English very well (: And also ı use my hands for writing mail and my webblog in English.

Turkish: I choosed this colour. when ı speak in Turkish, ı feel really relax and nobody understan me here so ı can say everthing in Turkish (: I paint my hair and arm. Hair; ı must stop to think in Turkish because ıts very difficult to translate in English. So Turkish must wait in my hair. Arms; In Turkey, my friends always give me big hug. When the somebody give me a big hug, ı always remember some friend's voice in Turkish...

Feelings about this exercise : It was a good exercise. You can learn your feelings about language. ıt was look like a look outside ıts own. But ı think we need a long time for this activitiy.ıf ı had sometimes, ı can add some language. But generally ıt was good and ı enjoyed alot. I can use this exercise in kindergarden. Because sometimes children dont want to speak but they always want to paint somethig so ı can use ıt.

special needs

Fist of all we did some activities like game in the circle. I'm good at..., speak each other..., give a imaginary gifts...! This activities helped to know each others feelings and know yourself and think positive. It is very good activitiy for school's first day. We learned taktil massage! We did massage with a music and a story. When Elişka did massage to me with music and story, ı really feel the story on my back (:Its really good activitiy for kindergarden. Because sometimes children need to relax and need to learn how can they wait their turn. Neomi said ıts good activitiy to go to sleep. I m agree with her. Because when Elişka finished the massage, ı nearly fall asleep (: About ADHO... It was very strange for me. Because the teachers give some pills to children. I think ıt s not necessary. And the children have a break on different times to the others -normal- children. In Turkey, ıf the doctor say ıts really need this pills, family give the pills. But the doctor always try to find another way to cure the childrens who have some problems. For example we use some activity to discharge their energy. And the children who have some ADHO problems are going to the normal public school. The teachers know this children and try to adapt the clasroom. And the doctors, family help the teachers. Because the main idea, ıf the children feel like a normal child, the improved will be easy...

fried hat!

Today, when we returned to Esbjerg, ı was very tried and ı must to tidy up my room so ı went to my room. And Neomi and Mate waas cooking something for us in the kitchen. ( ıts my hat! ) and ı forget my camera in the kitchen. Before the lunch ı came to the kitchen and ı started to look my photos which ı take today. But ı saw some diffrent photos!
