Valentine's Day

Today was a great day, had to work and had a busy shedule at school. I am a Specialist or a Standalone teacher - teaching IT to the little ones, and have 500 children that I see in a six day cycle, 2 times a week. Normally a Specialist teacher is left out a bit

when it comes to celebrations. This time I did not expect much like always. What a nice surprise it was when I got chocolates, roses, cards, gifts galore from my little ones. I had a constant inflow of children coming to my lab bringing me something! I loved it. All my students know that I will be leaving soon, and we have a countdown on the whiteboard going. I also get a lot of "I will miss you" drawings from my students. All these things make the long hours worthwhile.







This is part of my Memory book that I started. So I will post lots of Photo's here, just to remember these lovely children I tought.














Remember that all the students are from different parts of the world. We have Dutch, Korean, Finish, German, South African, Swedish, Indian, American, British, Norwegian, Australian, from Kenia, Nigeria, Egypt, Arab of course ect ect ect. I can not even remember from where else. We are an International school and truly so.

You also have the international flavour in terms of the teachers in our school. I came to love the teachers and students there. Lovely people.


Valentine's Day started much earlier than this school reportage. Early in the morning, Gideon had a red heartshaped tin full of chocolate goodies ready on my pillow. When I went down to make my early cup of coffee, and fetch HIS valentine's card, he was ready to surprise me big time!





He took me to town, and we went in search for a nice restaurant to celebrate the day. We found a place that actually serve South African food. I forgot the name of the place. But we had a blast.




I had a wonderful day. Good Memories!
