Field Trip

On our way to Bulacan for our class trip. Looking around, seeing each of my students seated beside their mommy or daddy, fills my heart with a kind of warmth that comes only from the love parents have for their children. Little Kendra Paulie on mommy’s lap, hugging her as she sleeps. Gavin leaning on mommy’s shoulder while watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. Twins Abby and Mica happily exchanging stories and laughter, as their mom watches them with a smile. Dad of Brice taking selfies of him and his son in their seat :) This morning I look at my class not just as students but truly as the little children that they are. Little happy souls, each one special with different needs. 

Today I forget their mischief and academic concerns…. Today I look at them as children who must grow in love. I see them as little flowers that need to be nurtured, not with lessons in Math, English, AP and Filipino…. but with love~ which is what they need most. All these and much more are my heart’s breakfast for today. My heart is definitely full! 

Here are some snapshots of our fun-filled day. You will see wonder in the little children's faces, making me dream of teaching in a place where nature surrounds us... How wonderful it would be for children to learn while enjoying the beauty of God's creation around them!

in the eyes of children, there is always awe and wonder~

making art is more fun when surrounded by the hues from God's palette 

bright smiles to match the different colors

clear, blue skies and greens everywhere~
