We had quite a busy week last week. We had so many things accomplished in a very short span of time, plus the different activities that we also did in between, plus classes and assessments, and of course, capped the week with class parties and our staff get-together at Garbo at Melia Hotel.
Actually we've been busy since last week but Monday and Tuesday were really busy because of the Christmas concert last Wednesday. And Thursday was a regular school day with reports that needed to be accomplished but we still did a fun charity fundraising activity.
The kids did that to my face.. And I had fun while they did.
It was actually for a good cause so when they asked me, I could never refuse.
I love the fact that our students think of others and what they can do for the community. As a teacher, it makes me proud of them and their tireless efforts. In the evening, the same kids organized their Winter Formal, and I was there as one of the chaperones.
It was fun watching them groove to the music and socialize as they should. Then Friday, our last day in school for 2022, we had our class parties. I spent half the day with my homeroom, and my student, Joyce, gave me these handmade customized cakes. One is Chocolate and the other, Sponge Cake with their respective icing.
After the parties, we had our staff secret Santa and I gave mine these Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate collection.
But funny because someone gave me the same, and my secret Santa gave me these boxes of Tea plus another box of Chocolate for me.. yey..
And to cap the school day, we went to Melia for some drinks and snacks sponsored by our CEO and Executive Principal. No pictures as we were busy chatting before bidding everyone farewell. A lot of them will go to other countries for the holiday, while others will visit other countries they have never been before. As for me and my household here, we're going to Bagan for Christmas. That will go to another blog post. In the meantime, I am busy reconnecting with family as I have more time now because it's already our school break. So I spend more time with my plants too.
I have come to enjoy playing Grocery Cashier with my nephew who is actually in the Philippines while I am here in Myanmar, whenever we are on skype. I show him how it's done and he shows me how he plays it. What I like about this game is that it teaches kids to count money. And because we have a store back home, it also teaches patience while practicing to give change and make a sale.
Another one that we also like to play is Treze Coins which is also good for counting. But my nephew likes the Grocery Cashier better than Trese Coins.
However, when I discovered Idle Money Tree and introduced it to him, he was ecstatic. He said he likes to make more money while taking care of the tree. This is actually fast paced compared to the two I have mentioned earlier. So my nephew perhaps likes the action.
I told him it is just a game and not really something to be serious about, but whenever the amount increases, I become excited too. I wish we can do this with my plants in my balcony garden, lol.
See the progress that I have made. Sunlight, water, fertilizer, harvest and research have increased.
At first I didn't quite understand why my nephew liked it more, but eventually I did.
See my latest progress?
Oh and the best thing about this game is that, even if you stop playing, it plays in the background and your money continues to grow. See how much my money grew???
I am still in the process of exploring other games on the games section of the Mortgage Calculator site. There are actually many more games to try. Oh well, it is just my third day of holiday. School doesn't start until January 5th.. So keep posted. I will share other games with you.
