Sometimes, lessons come to your child so gently and naturally that they leave deep and beautiful memories and impressions in your child. A little sleepiness, a little summer sun, a little dirt, what's important is that my daughter had a great lesson!
The other day, on the way home from school, I told my mother about my study abroad experience at Practice garden tomorrow of you and your classmates. Mom felt the excitement in you. Mom pretended not to know anything (although she had received specific information from the teacher) to ask you about tomorrow's trip. Just like that, you repeated everything the teacher told you - so in class, my daughter was very focused.
When I got home, after saying goodbye to my grandmother, I quickly ran to the wardrobe to get 2 sets of clothes, folded them neatly, put them in a bag, and put them in my bag. I didn't need my mother to help me or worry about anything else. The excitement was clearly visible on my face. Seeing my daughter perform those neat movements, I was truly reassured - my daughter was now independent and knew how to take care of herself.
The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual after the alarm clock that I asked my dad to set the night before. I stretched, washed my face and got ready for school. Although I was still sleepy, I still realized that the road to school today was more beautiful than usual because of the early morning sunlight. Mom asked me if I was sleepy - I answered yes. Mom asked me why I woke up so early - I answered that I was late for school, my friends and teacher would wait for me. Ah, so my little girl is also responsible and thoughtful of others.
Then the teacher regularly updated the activities of the children at school on the Parents Group, I saw the children participating in the activities. In the role of gardeners, the children and their friends were very diligent. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, their faces were covered with dirt, the shirts they were wearing were wet but the smiles on their lips were always present. The children were "playing roles", "immersing themselves" in the activities. The cassava tubers they held in their hands were the reward for a hard working day. The children and their friends enjoyed it very much. It seemed to be even more delicious than the pizzas, the green, red, purple, yellow ice creams, the KFC dishes that the children still loved. The happiness and deliciousness of the children let me know that they knew how to appreciate the fruits of their labor and were grateful for the efforts of the gardeners.
During that lesson, the teacher helped me capture some beautiful moments. The innocent eyes when I was fishing with my friends in the lake, holding a leaf to cover my head instead of an umbrella or sharing food with my friends. Sometimes, just small things like sharing a cassava, wiping each other’s sweat or tying each other’s shoelaces were enough to bond me and my friends.
I wish you could have more lessons like that. Just seeing the bright smile on your face during the lesson, and the dozens of stories you told after the trip, I know you have learned a lot. And more than that, your maturity has given me a belief in the educational spirit that the school and teachers have nurtured in you!
