..........Undefinable Sense................

If somebody asked me one of my biggest happiness sources, I would definetely put forward it as having excitement in my heart to start my job as a teacher with my sweet students. Yes, sometimes people may not be aware of the chances they have and they may feel really bad just because of an unimportant problem; however, I have learnt to be happy even with a really small event in my life, and I really believe that my students will be my biggest source of happiness. That`s to say, I am really luck in that I will have my students and will not be alone. Last week, we were in Kastrup School. Our assignment was related to meaning of democracy in schools.It was a bit difficult to understand the course in the class in terms of the fact that the course was in Danish. The teacher then told in English what they were doing. Penille,teacher in school,was good at controlling class.Yeah, I tried to observe activities generally especially in terms of cooperative group work. Our students were 8 years old, all of whom were really sweet, respectable, and hardworking. During the lesson we sometimes looked at what they were doing and the interesting part was related to language. Students did not know English and we didn`t know Danish, nonetheless; we drew some pictures for them and they liked. Furthermore, one of them brought a dictionary for us and by looking at that dictionary, we tried to understand each other. At the end of the course, we took some pictures, we were able to have some videos related to our topic with some of the teachers and, our students sang a Farvel song for us. It was a really enjoyable week and Penille was really kind to help us. I would like to thank her.Before going out of class, some of students hugged us. I was glad and surprised to see how sincere they were. Yes, as a teacher candidate I can say I will have responsibilities to control my classroom and being among my students will be my greatest happiness. But as a reminder, although everything was nice, you know sometimes there comes unlucky events. We didn`t wait at school for bus and decided to walk and unfortunately it was such a really windy and cold day that we got cold because of walking for 3 kilometres. When we were at home, our eyes were full of tears, our hands and feet were numb.And we had a too bad headache. Sorry for this, but unfortunately, we couln`t go to school for one day because of this. Except for that day, I really felt both of warm, nice and candid air of school life and cold air out of school in my soul:)))).

.............Valentine`s Day..............

........Love 4 u?...........

Yes, today is Valentine`s Day but why does it seems to be very important for people? Actually, today many people buy roses for their darlings or they send cards to them, which seems really nice for darlings. Yes,people may buy presents for their darlings in this day yet I believe that remembering your love every day should be more reasonable. In my opinion, your love to your darling should be in your mind and especially in your heart every time. I respect to people who just buy presents to their loves because they love even though for me making people buy presents just for this day seems to be a part of consumer society`s game. I think if your darlings do so generally, it is better since it shows he is worth appreciating. Yet, I like confessing that I would like to see my boyfriend and I know it would be a big present for each of us:))). Anyway, if you are curios just as I am, why not look into this day deeply? R U ready? Then Let`s listen to the story below...

...........Like a New YeAr..............FaRVEL,S'IL VOUS PLAÎT,mERHABA.......:)

Hi everybody. I am here again after a long time. Yes, I was in Turkey for one month. I had health problem becuse of my teeth. I had my teeths out, yet I had to wait for 2 weeks so as to have them again. I sent an e-mail to Dorthe to inform about my being late.I am really sorry for this because I tried to come earlier even though I looked for the tickets earlier. In addition to this,I would really want to see the course with Peter and Thomas. Well, I was able to come this week. It was a really tiring trip for me because I had to wait at the Istanbul airport for approximately 7 hours and when I came to Coopenhagen Airport I waited until morning since it was warm to stay until going to central station. I had luggage and it was hard for me to carry although I knew I had to do so. Yet, I was able to come by myself, which was nice after the first term. I am happy to be here again because I have met new friends who are really sweet. Yesterday, we had a party for one who was supposed to leave for going to Spain. I met him yesterday, but it was enjoyable to be with friends and share feelings. This term seems to be more enjoyable and multicultural, which is a really good advantage in terms of getting adapted to new cultures.

........Happy Christmas Party .............

Today was a really nice and remarkable day for me. We prepared a puzzle activity related to some words and our friends played it. However, we had to leave even though we showed just the activity and were not able to check at the end. Sorry, we left because we didn`t buy a present for our friends in that we didn`t know that we had to bring one. Therefore, we felt a bit shy and ashamed. As a consequence of this, we just left the class in order to buy a present. After a while, we just came and enjoyed the beautiful air of the party with our friends. Our great cooks cooked duck, potatoes with sugar sauce which was completely interesting for me,a desert with rice and almonds. Apart from these, my teacher Ann Christine told that Danish people start to sing hand in hand around christmas tree and than open their presents. It seems to be a nice tradition. After we ate really delicious meals, we just sat down and we threw the dices and when it came 6, it meant you could choose a present and I threw 6 and I had a present. I was happy. However, I learnt that presents changed with the cards. Anna read a paper according to which we changed our presents and our places. Yet, I again loved my lovely present, which I will keep with myself for a long time unless of course if they don`t get broken. All in all, I can say that I enjoyed myself and it was really nice to feel that great weather with friends. And now I am getting ready to leave for Turkey. It was a nice term, I finished my study products and now time to get relaxed and feel the soul of Gud Jule:).

(x+y+z=?): What is the result and How to do evaluation???

Today was a different day for me. You may ask why. Actually, it is because I had an exam. Yes, I already did my study product in Pedagogy and today I had oral exam. Except from Peter, there was another teacher. They asked some questions and I talked ralated to my study product. Before I entered in the room, I was a bit excited which is really normal to emerge, but I was able to control my excitement and I tried to answer what was asked to me. Actually, it was a really good environment in that you don`t get nervous really much. In my country, I can say that we had presentations in pertinent to our products. We explain all the topic in our work and teacher doesn`t explain our mark immediately after the presentation. It is declared after the term finishes in the site which helps us as students to see our notes. However, I really would like to say that after I talked, Peter and the other teacher gave feedback, which is actually really useful in that I became aware of what points were done related to my work and how I would improve myself. In addition to this, I found evaluation in Denmark really great in that we again discussed something and behaved critically in contrast to Turkey. In oral exams of Turkey, we have presentations, but discussion point is a bit missing. The point I like here is that teachers and student discuss and also add new points. I wasn`t just talking in front of blackboard by talking about topic. I was discussing the topic with teachers, which is quite important for me in that I can also think critically. Creating individuals who think critically is a part of Turkish curriculum and I am happy to see my improvement in this dimension.Yes, I hope I can really be a good teacher in every aspects and skills, and also help my students to comprehend the idea of thinking creatively and critically for being successful instead of just memorizing and telling what is written.

''The first snow in Denmark''

Yes, at last the grandmother `Rapunzel Snow', who had long white hair covering the all earth, came to visit her grandchildren in Vordingborg. I would like to welcome her by saying that I`m really glad to see her because I feel extremely blissful in that she persuades me to believe in quiteness, peace, and sincerity of life. Yes, when I saw the snow, I couldn`t believe in my eyes because a lot of time has passed since I saw snow. Actually, I used to see snow when I was in Adiyaman, the city I live in, but I couldn`t see it when I started to study in Mersin because of the climate. Generally, I am fond of snow and I like to play snowball with the people I love. Nonetheless, I would like to confess that experiencing snow is a completely different evident in Denmark. When it was snowing, I and my housemates went outside and we started to play snowball and ran like little cheerful children in the snow. In addition to this, we heard the music sound and decided to follow cars and people in the street. Firstly, I couldn`t understand why there were lots of people in the street and I was totally amazed to see there were a great numbers of people in Vordingborg streets which was unusual. People came with their babies and small children. Children sitting in the firefighters` cars threw candies to the people in the streets. They were opening the lights on the trees. Santa Claus was also talking, and a woman looked at me and smiled even though I couldn`t understand what they were talking about, I was just happy when I realized that people were fond of the snow and children were sliding in a crazy way. After the celebrationn finished, my friends and I just ran and played snowball with excitement and happiness in our hearts. Moroever, I wanna say that my heart got really warm upon seeing how elated and candid people were despite the fact that it was extremely cold outside. I really would like to thank to grandmother Rapunzel Snow in that she makes me be thoughtful about homeless people to be cared and makes people bind each other more by creating a feeling of humanity and a soul of Christmas.
