Teacher's Day Pressies

It's been a couple of years since I last posted a Teacher's Day pressies post... maybe it was because of the pandemic. I really don't know but I enjoy making this type of posts so, we're gonna do it this year!!

Teacher's Day was on the 15th, but since it was a Sunday, most of the pressies arrived the following week. And, I didn't have time to put this blog together until now. Life's been kinda super busy lately.We had a lunch reunion at work to celebrate and a long weekend after that. (I still had to work tho). May has been full of long weekends and days off and I never had the chance to enjoy them cuz of my work~ Oh well, adult life is hard sometimes... :')

Anyway, here are the pressies I received this year:

Baby succulent plant! It was the first gift I recieve at the Teacher's day reunion. I hope it survives, hehe. I like how simple, yet pretty the pot is.

I got chocolate with some of my pressies. ♡ 

I also received a cute makeup bag with a floral print and a very colorful gel pen. The makeup bag could also work as a pencil case. 

The We Bare Bears pouch is actually a manicure set which I thought was a cute and not-so-common gift. It's cool cuz I didn't have one. And Panda is my fav bear out of the 3. 

I think receiving personalized mugs is a yearly tradition, hehe. Not complaining tho, They are really cute! Both came with some yummies inside!

This phone holder came in perfect timing because I recently changed my phone and they match perfectly! I love the design and colors. Can you tell my students know me too well?

We also have some accessories! A cute golden necklace with matching earrings.

Personalized coffee cups! Both are perfect to bring my coffee to work, hehe. The pink one came with some tea bags and cappuccino inside.

Lastly we have this handmade candle that smells reaaaaally good! It's kind of a cherry lollipop scent.

As always, I'm super thankful for the pressies, the hugs and kind words. I'm so lucky to be able to share what I know with my students and constantly learn from them too.

Teachers Day Pressies 2017

Hello sweets!
We celebrated Teachers Day a week ago, and even tho it is a little late, I wanted to put this post together to share with you what I recieved this year. Kind of a "Teachers Day Haul"

I've been so spoilt this year! And I know it's not all about the gifts. You should see my kids' faces when they are giving the gift. They are way too excited! I am very thankful for every gift, hug and message I recieved on that day.

Ok now, let's get to the pressies!

♥ Accessories:

♥ Yummies

Yes! I even got a beer!

♥ Makeup

♥ Other cuties 

Because teacher loves coffee...!

I decided to name this plan Ada, I really want to take care of her.
 I'm not good with plants but, she'll be my baby.

Once again, thank you for everything! I hope to continue learning from my kids as they learn from me. ♥

The type of teacher I want to be + Teachers day & gifts.

Hi there my darlings!
Teachers day was just a few days ago! But since I had so many things to do these past few days, I just got the chance to sit and write a new heart-to-heart related to my job.
As some (or most) of you know, I am an english teacher who works with preschool kids. I've said this before but, I truly think my job is a very rewarding one! There is no one day that is the same. Kids are very spontaneous and they learn super fast! I love English, and I love to see how my kids learn the language, feel so curious about it and even copy my expressions!

But after some years of work, I realized that working with kids around that age is a lot bigger than just helping them to learn a new language, it is also about helping them to become more sure about themselves, to be a little more independent, to show them what they are capable of doing and more.
Sometimes it's easy to just think that teaching is just a "job" but we lose the idea of what that job really means and how much of an impact it can create on a kid.

Because even tho it can be really exciting to see how they learn what you teach them, it's even more great to see how much they change as the school year goes by. And to know you are a big part of that change is the best reward I get from my job.
Some of our kids spend main part of their day at school/daycare with us. We teach, we learn,we play together and yeah, it comes a time when we become a little family. It is a BIG responsibility when you see it that way.

So, the more I think about it, the more I know that yeah, I want them to learn English or all the "academic stuff" we teach them but, I also want to remember me as someone who helped them to become better people, to know what they are really capable of and to always dream big. I want to be a teacher who teaches from the heart, not only a language but also happy life experiences, morals, and who gives them the security they need to always aim for the best.
We're working with little human beings after all.

I'm getting a little emotional since the end of the school year is close to an end~ Hehe.

As for teachers day, we had a nice breakfast together and then took them to have some bubble tea to continue our fun chat. I'm happy to say that more than coworkers, we've become good friends!
I also want to thank all my kids and their parents for always showing us big love and sweet details! I know gifts are not the way to measure love but it always feels nice to see how excited the kids are when they give you one, when they see you using it and also, because it is a way from the parents to show you how thankful they are.
I'm also very thankful for them and for my coworkers/friends. They keep teaching me so much about our job and about life.
Happy teachers day to all my fellow teachers out there! I hope you had a wonderful day and let's always remeber the importance our job has.

Some of the pressies I recieved. Took the pic this morning so I couldn't include the ones that came in today. They keep coming!!! Thank you ♥

Teacher's Day + Gifts!

Hi guys!
Last Friday we celebrated Teacher's Day! As every year, we got together for a nice meal, relaxing time and fun chats.

I know I've said it before but, I'm so lucky to work with a great group of people who are always supportive, friendly and I can keep learning from them. We've gone through a long journey since I started working there and I'm very thankful for everything.

Through all these years I've been working as a teacher, I've learnt a lot! And I think it has changed me a lot for the best. I know I have a lot to learn still but, that is the fun part! Not every day is the same when you work with kids, they are all different, fun, exhausting and very rewarding.

If you wanna read how my job has changed me make sure to click here! Hehe.
So I wanna wish a happy Teacher's day (even if it's a little late now) to every teacher out there! Especially to those who were my teachers, and the teachers I love and adore such as teacher friends and family. BIG CONGRATS because this is not an easy job, but I know it is one of the most challenging and beautiful ones. WE ROCK! Hehe.

Ok, moving on to the Teacher's day gifts! It's so cute how I started recieving them one day earlier! Thank you to all the parents and my kids for the lovely deets! I love them from the bottom of my heart!♥

YUMMIES

GOODIES

Not only I recieved gifts from school people but also from my dad and my friend, so big thank you to them too!! Some of the food stuff is not there anymore because...yeah, I ate it. Bwahaha!

This year we didn't took a group pic...BOO!

Teacher's Day Gifts

Last week we celebrated Teacher's day. The rest of the week got a little busy and I finally had the time to sit and check all my gifts, one by one. I usually get lots of cute notes and drawings from my kids when it's not Teacher's day, they always find a way to show you their love. But yeah, on Teacher's day we get some bigger gifts and I see it as a way from their parents to thank us for our work. It is so sweet to see how the kids are dying to give you what their parents got for you as soon as they see you, they look so happy to give you something. I got so many cute and yummy things this year! I'm so thankful! I am a lucky Teacher~!

Let's start with the yummies!
If someone gives me chocolates, they can't go wrong! I loooove them, and I'm always happy to eat them.
Part of what I got: Baileys Chocolate, truffles, Hershey's goodies, cherries covered in chocolate and cookies.

I also got a fairy figure which mom says means "good luck" especially when someone gives it to you as a gift. Sheep figure means fortune! They are both around my room now. Red Chinese lipstick keeper(?) I used to love them when I was younger, it was kinda cute to have one again after so long. As for accessories, I got a cute bracelet with grey pearls and a headband with a big, bright sunflower. It was picked by my student for me, I'll definitely use it to keep my hair off my face when applying face masks.
The heart shaped photo frame came along with the happy face pen, chocolates, the pink bear and a Hello Kitty sticker that is already on my laptop.
As for make-up, I got this lovely Mary Kay Lip Lacquer in Chai Latte. I rushed in and tried it the next day. It's one of those colors I like at the moment, very natural and peachy with good durability.

This is my first year getting some clothes for teacher's day! One of my kid's moms, gave me this pretty light blue short dress, it is a little different from what I usually wear but is really comfortable, I loved the color and perfect for this hot weather.

Some of the older kids that already know how to write gave me some sweet notes and drawings. I love my kiddos!

And, last Saturday we had a get together with my co-workers to celebrate Teacher's Day. I'm so happy and thankful to work with such amazing people!
