From out of nowhere many days in class (often in mid-sentence during a grammar lesson, now that I think about it!) kids give me little presents... some of them hang around shyly after the lesson has ended to drop something in my palm (see the cats-eye marble?) and run away, others boldy block the doorway before class begins with a "teacher, wait - this me give you!" I've gotten lots of sweaty-palmed candy (um, yum, thanx for sharing <put in pencil case to toss when child has gone home>!), and strange little things that they bring from home or get from other friends. I don't ever remember making little things like this for my teachers, but the kids here in my afternoon classes seem to do it a lot, so I thought I would share some of the cuteness with you...
One boy, Billy, in my PM1 grammar class made me the cranes during a break-time... the folded blue and purple paper came from Lauren in PM2 grammar class...
The beaded butterfly came from Jinny in my PM2 Grammar Class, the marble and pink scrap of drawings from Hellen in PM3 grammar, the throwing star from Daniel in PM2 grammar...
and the paper crab from Mina in PM2 grammar...
I know they're not much, but they're tiny little heart gifts from my kids and I adore them... perhaps minus the sticky-palmed candy, but I still appreciate the gesture!!! Kids are incredible, and I love my job...
