    Hello my friends, I am back again with my monthly project reports. I have planned to visit some schools for the February monthly event. So, yesterday, I visited the 57th school and talked with the 3rd graders of that school. I really like kids and thats the reason I started my monthly event with these little cuties. I talked with the teacher of the class and got the permission to visit their class. After my lessons in the lyceum, I went to that school with all the promotional goods which were sent by dear Tunza. I came into the room and we greeted each other for about 5-10 minutes. To start the conference, I asked them this question: What is nature? Many students wanted to answer and I heard all their answers! I gave small star shaped paper points for each answer, even if it was not right. I was told that these kiddos have the lesson 'Young Environmentalists' once a week. So, the question was not very hard to answer for them. After getting the answers for the main question, I gave more questions like: What is air pollution? What causes water pollution? How can we prevent deforestation? and etc. Now let me tell you a great experience I did with these sweeties. I asked the following question: 'Can a person live without nature?' One gurl started jumping and shouting more than anyone else. I called her to answer the question and she said 'Yes!' I called her to come to the board. She came up and I said 'Do you remember, we said that all resourses like water, land and especially air are a part of nature?' She said that she remembers. Then, I asked 'So, can we luve without nature?' She repeated her former answer. I called one more student to help me test and analyze her answer. I said 'We said that air is also a part of nature, right? So, we will now see how long you guys can live without air. I will set the timer and you both will hold your breaths!' They did as I told them and got surprised to see that the maximum amount of time they held their breaths was 11-14 seconds. I got good answers, but you know, they are kids and the answers werent full. After answering all the questions myself, I asked them if they wanted to play a game. I asked a good artist to sit with not very good drawers and write something like 'I ? U, Tunza!' and 'We love TEG!' It was a competition and 2 winners would get 5 stars. The other 2 students would get 3 stars. I asked if there were others who wanted to draw and didnt have ANY stars at all. I made 2 groups of 3 students and did the drawing contest. The 1st group had to draw the picture of winter, and the second had to draw a picture of summer. At the end, I called 5 students who didnt get any stars at all. To my surprise, 3 of my jouries voted for the 2nd group's picture, which personally I liked less than the 1st groups photo... The jouries got 1 star and each participant of the winner group got 2 stars. The participants of the 1st group got 1 star each. We did more fun activities together. At the end, I gave a present for each student. There was a boy who collected 6 stars and was named 'The most active partocipant of the conference'. I gave him a sticker, booklet, pen, a plastic ruler, business card and Tunza's ruler. He was really worth it. I added some more gifts and gave them to the ones who participated better, for example: shiny stickers, pens and rulers. It was a great honor for me to share my experiences. I am looking forward to giving the next conference some time soon in the 42nd specialized boarding school. Notice: this report was written on 9th of February
