I always have sweet little angels in my class who gives me a welcome hug in the morning, a smile every now and then, or a smile and goodbye at the end of the day. Just days ago, a parent commented how she had observed the relationship the children have with me. “You are loved by the children.” I just smiled.
During our show and share session, a boy aged four forgot to bring his item for showing. Instead, he took out a small package from his bag and gave it to me. I asked him what’s inside and he told me they were three pieces of chocolate cookies.
“It’s for you. I have my show and tell for you only.
I wrapped it myself at home.
I am giving them because you are good to me.”
I thanked the child, gave him a hug, and turned my back to wipe the tears in my eyes. Another heaven sent.
I feel empty for the past few days but these moments will surely give me the strength to go on. The will to live, for others.
Hello teacher Jonathan.
ReplyDeleteI planned that when I go to school I will tell you which posts I like best each day. But I like too many of them and I will feel funny if I give you a list of them. So I decided to leave a comment to let you know I really enjoy reading your blog and that I have read until here... I calculated. I read about 1 month of posts per day so it will take me about 2 months to finish all of them. :D
I also read your newest post. Goldilock is my favorite story too. But I don't like her. I think she is one nasty girl ...but after working with children...I think she is merely a young little girl after all. I also remember wanting to be the baby bear...you know. I know that his mama will make more soup for him and his daddy will make new chairs for him. :)
