Sep 1 is Teachers' Day. Lorna Whiston Pre-School decided to celebrate the Teachers's Day on August 31. That is Tomorrow…
The time is 8PM. My mission is to get to Far East Flora @ Upper Thomson before 9PM. And buy 4 types of flowers and 1 type of grass or leaves.
I made it in time before the flower shop close, and managed to get a few bunch of colourful flowers.
At home, the young designer is immediately put into work. Mr. Jay Jay.
His mission is to design the the Teachers' Day Flower Pot. It will be a traditional present from my kids to the teachers in the pre-school.
We have to prepare 12 of them.
So, he started with the little white flowers (满天星斗).
Next, he put in the yellow flowers.
He carefully distribute the flower so that it looks nice.
Next, he placed a big Red Rose in the middle.
Lastly, he carefully placed the greeting card on it.
Remember? Ms. Joy has sticked this behind Jay Jay's back a few days ago? Jay felt very proud of himself because of that. He also thank Ms. Joy for giving him that piece of encouragement paper.
I asked Ms. Joy what he draws.
So, in return, what do you think Ms. Joy will get as a reward???
Special treatment!
Special card with love stickers on it!
It is very different from others.
Jay Jay: "Ms. Joy! Happy Teachers' Day!"
OK Son. You cannot be like this? You must treat all teachers the same, cannot give preference. All teachers has given their best to teach you, so, you should make it equal to every one! HaHaHaHa He is just reaching 6 years old, I don't think he will understand this yet! hahahaha
The time is 9:40PM. It is time for the kids to go sleep. It's getting very late.
So, mommy will bring the kids to bed.
So, what shall I do?
Well you know, during Christmas Day, the elves (elf) will help Santa box the Christmas Presents. And what do you know, the Elf has come out during Teachers' Day eve and start working again.
The assembly line has started working.
It is a 3D Printer. The Mr. Ken Printer started to duplicate the first pot, designed by the one and only Jay Jay.
And soon, many pots has been duplicated… by me. Who says Guys cannot 插花？？？？
The kids finally slept. All the pots has been duplicated. So, mommy come out and adding the leaves onto the flower pot. It makes it look even nicer.
After adding the leaves, the Teachers' Day flower pot looks lively!
HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!
Thanks you all for taking good care of my sons. And given them the best teaching and fun!
Extra Notes:
1. Jay Jay also make the 13th pot for teacher Norman, his BrainFit class teacher.
2. Jay Jay wanted to do one for Mr. Leung, the Violin instructor and many more.
3. Jay Jay also wanted to make one for Auntie Racquel. She was a elementary school teacher. So, Jay Jay said "Auntie, tomorrow you no need to wash dish and clean the floor. Because is teachers' day! How thoughtful!
You're right, he probably doesn't yet understand equality. And every year, he has a different favourite teacher with whom he declares, unabashedly, his love and hugs at any point of the day; on a daily basis. But I think it's good to form a healthy bond, this is perhaps, one of the motivators for him to do good in school.. I shall cherish the little stickers still.. :)

ReplyDeleteI guess that is fine! Just don't want him to have such habit. Later in Primary school, there will be lots of different teachers and with different styles. :)
