I was given this rather exotic looking orchid on Saturday, from a parent who is very pelased with my work with her child. I love gifts like this, cos teaching is HARD work. It does require bucket loads of patience. It is demanding. It is great when the children finally 'get it' on the subject that you're teaching! It IS nice to get a thank you gift.
The orchid itself, is starting to wither, so I wanted to 'catch' it before it completely dies.
