School Has Started!

School Started on Thursday, August 25th. The first two days were just getting to know our students and telling them about ourselves. The second week was spent getting into our routines and explaining the routines to our students. Our classes are great and we are so happy to be working here, but are very busy making lesson plans and getting our materials ready.

This coming Friday is children's day in Honduras, so we are taking the High School to a community called la tigra to volunteer at a poor children's school; we will play some games with the kids, do a Bible study, and of course have a pinata!

The following week is Honduras' independence parade. That means three full days of marching through town with first our kinder program, then our escuela (elementary), and finally our instituto (high school).
Lots of fun things to look forward to!

Here are a few pictures of our school, more to come later with our students too!


Here are the first two things that you see when you walk in the gate. Our school sign and mural.


The Elementary part of the school.


These are the five High School classrooms, the computer lab, and of course the soccer field.
