Devin really is enjoying his school days. He'd come home singing songs he learned or recite lessons he had that day. And on the bonus side, the school (or just his class) would have an special event, at least once a month. So far, they had the "Bring Your Favorite Stuff Animal" Day, International Week, Crazy Feet Day, Crazy Hat or Hair Day...just to name a few.
International Week-on one of the days, was bring an item that represents your country. We don't have anything from Cuba (but now that I think about it, maybe a can of Goya beans would do??). So I gave Devin some chopsticks to bring...the two little girls brought currency from Honduras & India, respectively.
Crazy Feet Day: it was only for his class and the teacher took the whole class around to visit other classes & sang a song about their Crazy Feet! Devin had on his Lightning McQueens (from Cars) slippers which took me forever to find...
Posing with all the boys from his class, which represents only a third of his class. The number of girls in his class are double of the boys.
Operation Christmas Child: Devin's school does this annual event which he was so excited to participate. He chose the age group & gender to resemble himself so he get to pick what went inside the box. Now that I'm looking at the picture, I don't remember half of the stuff that went in...especially those blue greenish objects in the upper right corner...
Label on the top of the box.
Picture with his box.
The Samaritan's Purse who sponsors the program actually went to Devin's school to shoot a promotional video for future use. And the school had a special chapel service where all the students dedicated the boxes to Jesus & prayed over the boxes & for the kids who would to receive them; which was done once already the previous Friday. Devin got so excited, he insisted in making a second box. It was such a joy to see him getting so excited & involved in helping others.
