Happy Valentine’s Day from our learners to you!
To be honest, I did miss the hilarious awkward middle school love-lust today. However, it was a change of pace being at a primary school because my South African learners aren’t too cool — just yet — to not make Valentine’s Day cards for their family or teachers.

My English counterpart had her grade 4 students make Valentine’s Cards in English for their loved ones then present them. I really admire her creativity in the classroom. This is her example.

Cards my learners made me. My learner Ayanda cut out a picture of Kim Kardashian and wrote that it was me. Too great. “I love you Miss Mathebula and I will always love you.”

All the learners out of uniform and wearing red, white and pink! I didn’t get the memo because they told the learners in Zulu…typical.
Ngikuthanda! (I love you in Zulu)
I was stopped by a community member on my way home from school who asked me if I am physically strong enough to bear his child. I told him sorry, but I am far too weak and little. Sorry I’m not sorry. Happy Valentine’s Day to me! At least instances like that make me laugh pretty hard…
