Another School Year Ends

It's the time of the year once again when we have to say our good byes to the fives and fours in my class. They will be moving to a bigger school, a much more different set-up from the loving, home-styled nurturing they knew and had been used to.

My personal reflection for this school year was not of praises and joyous moments. It is to recollect the learning experiences and transform them into positive changes for the next school year. 


I may sound like a broken record, but I sincerely appreciate your support--of me, of E., of so many in our community. You are a guide and a help to people small and large, and that help is noticed and appreciated. Once again, I send deepest gratitude. (Udagawa family)

Again, thank you for everything including how you look after our kids throughout the year. I really hope we will be in touch even if you move somewhere in the future. (Richter family)

Thank you for all you have done for C this year. You have played a huge part in making her first ever school experience a positive one. She has flourished so much over the year and a lot of it has to do with your love and concern for C, and of course, your expertise. Thank you! (Reid family)

Jonathan, thank you for everything you do for our children. You teach from your heart and it shows. You have been such an important part of my children's lives and education. You truly have made us all better people. (Marinos family)

We would like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication during the last school year of P at ELC, Samakee. P enjoyed being in your class, and was always sharing us what she learned. P has improved significantly since she started learning with you. I am so glad that you are P's teacher. Thank you so much for your patience, kindness, and effort to our child. 
(Ngamsirijit family)


If there is one thing making me stay in teaching , it is in how the parents and children show me their love and appreciation. I wish everyone a pleasant summer. 

I need a vacation badly.

  1. Aww, very touching naman yung mga messages ng parents ng mga students nyo sir Jonathan :)

    It only shows na talagang mahusay kayong guro sa kanilang mga anak.

    Bale, sa next school year jan sa Thailand, new sets of faces na naman ang tuturuan nyo?

  2. Hi fiel,

    Yes, but I know the children by name since they will be coming from the younger class. Panibagong paghuhubog na naman pero bago yan magbabakasyon muna ako. Saan, hindi ko pa alam.

  5. Hi MEcoy,

    Ikaw eh ang aking masugid na commentator. Nakikita kita sa mga blogs na napupuntahan ko, sipag na bata. Anyways, the Thai school year started just last month while the internatinal schools use British or American/ Canadian calendar. Magulo nung na since we call it summer eh tapos sa sa lahat ng Asya yung summer, tag ulan na. Lahat ng cards and e-mails nakatago. Mayroon ding mga regalo, hi,hi,hi. Hindi ko na i-post baka may makabasa.

  6. Hi Christian,

    Ang tagal mo ding mag update at busy ka na din siguro. Sa aking experience hindi na mahalaga yung mga regalo, kung nag thank you yung mga magulang ok na ako. Every year may isa o dalawang hindi marunong mag appreciate thinking na nagbayad naman sila bakit pa sila mag thank you. ( mga taga dito yang mga yan) Mayroon kasing hindi appreciated na Pinoy ang guro nila.

    Maliligaw nga ako sa Pinas. Speaker ako ng alumni ko this July so I have to be there. Puwede siguro akong mag meet ng bloggers, shy nga lang ako, lol!

    for me teaching is not only a profession, everyone can teach but only few can inspire.

  10. Hi Rix,

    I do like the Baguio experience so thanks for sharing. As for teaching, some stayed as a vocation. There is no money in teaching.

  12. Hi Balut,

    Oo nga, perks of teaching, the letters of thanks. So kahit na kaunti lang ang nagbigay, lahat naman nagpasalamat.
