After the kids received their 1st term Report Cards at the end of January, we had the individual parents meetings with our parents and talked about their overall development at school and at home. We\u2019d like to thank to all the parents who participated in the Valentine\u2019s Day workshop. The art projects, in which the parents assisted their kids to complete them, were full of fun. We always enjoy seeing our parents and children working together as a team. Each class enjoyed exchanging cards with each other as well.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1127\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar1-Copy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar1-Copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar1-Copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar1-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pre-K &amp; KG students celebrated the 100th Day of School on Feb 24th. They made a delicious necklace out of fruity cereal. They practiced counting to 100 by seperating 100 pieces of cereal before they stringed them through a plastic needle and string. It was fun, yummy and very educational!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1129\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar3-Copy-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar3-Copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar3-Copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar3-Copy-510x382.jpg 510w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar3-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Many thanks to our parents who took time out of their busy schedules and presented their jobs and told us about their careers. Mrs. Selin Erdil (YN- Ege\u2019s mom), who is an academician, told and showed us how the university teachers taught lessons to university students at the university. She selected some kids who pretended to be her university students in her class in which the table setting was different from the one they were used to.<\/p>\n<p>A group dentists from the Dental Esthetic Group (Tahran Str., Kavakl\u0131dere) visited our school. They talked about teeth care, cavities and dental health. They used tooth models and animations to demonstrate us how to brush our teeth. It was a fun and interactive presentation which the kids enjoyed a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1138 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar12-Copy-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar12-Copy-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar12-Copy-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar12-Copy-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar12-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1136 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar10-Copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar10-Copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar10-Copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar10-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1137 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar11-Copy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar11-Copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar11-Copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar11-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1130 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar4-Copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar4-Copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar4-Copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar4-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1135\" src=\"http:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar9-Copy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar9-Copy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar9-Copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/preschooltr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/mar9-Copy.jpg 804w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Mr. and Mrs. Oter (KG- \u00c7\u0131nar\u2019s parents) are musicians of classical Turkish music.

Mrs. Oter let the kids try the tambourine\u2019.
