The Orange Frogs do Dinosaurs and Birthdays

It was another week full of learning and fun for the Orange Frogs.  We had a really exciting theme this week:  DINOSAURS!  We had dinosaur stories, dinosaur songs, dinosaur games, and dinosaur videos.  We found out a lot of new things about dinosaurs and had a great time, too!


We continued with the theme "Happy Birthday" in "Happy House."  We learned birthday related vocabulary in our stories with Spike, Ruby and Otto.

First, we listened to the story about Spike's birthday present  and looked at the story cards.

Later, we did a listening worksheet about the story. The worksheet showed Spike and Ruby with an everyday object.  We had to listen to the CD and decide if the object in the picture matched what we heard.  It sounds difficult, but we did just fine.  Then we did a math worksheet. We had to add some candles together and draw the correct number on a birthday cake.

It was time to think about our birthdays. We made our own birthday badges and decorated a birthday cake with candles.  Great work, isn't it?

Çınar, Kerem, Yelda and Tuana made some nice cakes!  Look at those smiles.

Asya, Ahmet and Ömer are showing off their work.

Barış, Yiğit, Borahan, Irmak and Efe are happy with their cakes.

We did another math worksheet and a "Find the Differences" worksheet, too.  We had to find the dinosaur in each row of four which was different and colour it.

Well, that was a little of what the Orange Frogs did last week. Our new theme this week will be ELEPHANTS.  We will have lots of new pictures and projects to show you next week.
