HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY
DEAR ALL,
I WISH A VERY HAPPY "MOTHERS' DAY" TO YOU.
THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR WITHOUT HER. I MISS HER SMILING FACE, HER WARMTH AND HER LOVE SO MUCH.
THIS IS THE LIFE!
IT CONSISTS OF A CIRCLE: BIRTH, GROWING UP, MATURITY, PRODUCTIVITY, GETTING OLD AND DEATH...
HOWEVER, THE EXISTENCE OF OUR CHILDREN, OUR DOSTS AND OUR STUDENTS KEEP US STRONGER BEFORE THE SAD EVENTS OF LIFE.

Plans for this Month
Dear all,
This month is so important for the Turkish schools and also for parents. The schools will close in the middle of June and these days are very busy for all students and teachers. They are taking exams, presenting projects and entering very important national exams for their future years. On the other hand, the lovely weather of the spring time puts some kind of obstacles in front of them. Their minds and eyes are in the parks and at the seaside. In fact, this is same for all age groups. The awakening nature is also a sign of the awakening minds. Most of our National Festival days take place in April and in May. Last month we celebrated the Children's Festival Day on 23rd April. The 1st day of the May was important not for all the workers but also for all as the Spring Festival Day. Now we have the Youth and Sports Festival Day on 19th May. It is the starting day of the Independence War of Turks. All those days remind of us all our duties and responsibilities as the children of our great leader Atatürk.
Let me share my plans for the month with you...
My lessons at boğaziçi University will go on until the end of May. The final exams will take place between the 1st and 9th of June. This summer I will have two courses at the Summer School of my university. One is elective and its name is: "Teachers of the Future". It was designed for the junior and senior students of the Faculty of Education. We will share the characteristics of the schools of the future and then learn the responsibilities and characteristics of the future teachers. We will conduct the course by remembering the old sdystems and projecting to the future.

This week the specil week for the Disabled People. That is why I invited a challenged friend to my classroom to share his difficulties and expectations concerning the disabled from the future leaders. I am thankful to Mr. Ahmet Bağbekleyen who is the director of a Rehabilitation Center and also an ex TV programmer and Journalist. My students have gained awareness concerning the above mentioned problems. They learned that feeling pity and sadness is not the solution but accepting as a human being equal to the abled ones. We also stressed the importance of the training of the abled ones before the disabled. I present my good wishes to all challenged dosts in the world.
On 11th may, there is the Peace Culture and Education Workshop at the Rectorate Hall of Boğaziçi University. BUPERC, YEKÜV & HumanIst co-ordinate the event. It will take place between 9.45-17.45 and it is free.
13th May is ther special day for our mothers. We always love and respect our mothers but that day is a symbolic one and sometimes it is needed to realize the warm communication between mums and children. Remembering must come from the heart not from the purse! :)
Two precious American writers will participate and give a talk on their recent book, titled: "Anatolian Days and Nights" in my classroom on 22th May. You are all invited!
We are within the last month of the International ICT Seagulls Project. All the circles will deliver their web pages/Blogs within the first week of June. Most of the teams are finalizing their projects and organizing their last performances. I wish good luck to all teams.
I wish you a very happy, fruitful and healthy May to you. Sincerely yours,
Hayal KÖKSAL
