On his fourth week at school, Evan learned about kindness (from the Fruit of the Spirit). There was a memory verse for him too. Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good." He learned that doing good means taking turn on using toys during break-time and sharing some of his snack to his friends.
To sum up the lesson, on Friday the students were asked to give something special for their favorite teacher. And since that was on Valentine's week so chocolate was chosen as the perfect gift. They asked for specific type and size though, so there wouldn't be any mine-is-bigger-than-yours competition between the kids. The only competition left should be between the teachers themselves. There were three teachers in every class and the students were to give only to one of them. After that the teachers would share their chocolate and give a small love note for all students. Sweet wasn't it.
However, since my son were joining me in Surabaya on Valentine, he skipped school that Friday. "Sorry Ms. Ony, Evan was planning to give his chocolate to you, but he preferred to be with mommy that day." He still gave her gift though, not chocolate but Manalagi Apple from Batu, East Java, after he came back from Surabaya the following week.

Manalagi and Malang Apple
I think it is nice she got a healthy treat from your son!
ReplyDeleteIf I were Evan's teacher, I would gladly trade my chocolate for those luscious apples. Looks crunchy! Have a great day, mommy!
