October was a nice month.
For this month we made the continents (we have five).
First we made squares on the map and on the styrofoam.
Then, we draw following the lines.
The kids color using the water-base paint. Each country with different color.
Isaac is cutting with a little machine that uses heat.
After, they pasted in a bigger piece color in blue.
Here is the finished product.
We have class of P.E. twice a week. We run 600 mts. to the playground. We are not allow to stop.
Once there we do more exercises.
Soccer is the main thing here.
She is the only girl in the classroom and she is starting to enjoy exercises and soccer.
He is Jorge (we call him Joy), the P. E. teacher.
JIm was teaching some violin.
Jim singing with the small kids.
The High School students.

Instead of celebrating Halloween, the little ones celebrated "festival of the life ones"

In music class we got to sing ¨Lord, I lift your name in high¨
I think this is what we can sing after these weeks of classes. We are moving slowly but moving. I´m learning a lot of each one of the kids. I wanna say thank you for all your prayer, I can feel them, God is good! I wanna share more through pictures....
I like for the kids to present a topic in front of the class. Like we don´t have a projector, we put or others skills to work.
We mix flour with hot water to make what we call ¨engrudo¨, it works like glue.
After that we start getting the hands dirty to paste the newspaper on the globes.
Then, it came the painting process...
And here is the final product...
This is Fatima, the only girl I have in my class. She wishes there could be another girl here.. ´We´ll see what the Lord says about it.
Here we have Toño, he is Fátima´s brother.
Jorge is here with his work done.
Isaac showing the Sun.
Ignacio "Nacho" did a picturesque job.
The Earth belong to David...
We have four boards in the classroom. I like to see exactly what they are doing in certain tasks. I can check faster if there is any mistake. First they didn´t like much the idea but now the are fine with it. Actually some times I say we are gonna work in the notebooks and they say they prefer to do it in the boards.
Having some fun!!!
In order to introduce them to geometry, they trace and color the shapes so they could get related in a more personal way.
This is Alfonso "Poncho" with his final work.
P. E. classes are hard!! I do them with everybody... we have this class twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and some how I´m sore on Wednesdays and Fridays.
We have music classes on Friday with Jim Blomstrand who comes and helps teaching recorder and do some singing.
Two of the guys were playing a little rough and got the batroom sink broken. Well, I think is part of the deal of being working with teenagers.
And we did some "mexican" fixing on the roof.
Thanks again for your prayers....May God keep blessing you and your family.

This past Thursday, February 12, we had a celebration. One of the students turned 16. We made a plan to celebrate him by throwing him into the fountain that is in the school. At the end the whole class ended inside the fountain. But it was so much fun!!!!
This is Josué, it was his birthday. He just turn 16, so now he's the oldest in the classroom. Everybody calls him old man!!!!
This is other of the students, his name is Sergio (we call him Checo). He's a really nice boy, only one problem, he doesn't like to study very much. We ae praying for him and trying to find the way to make him like the studies.
These are Edgar, his nick name is Borre (sheep), and Abinadab. They are the tallest in the class. Really fine young men.
Nahum is one of the oldest kids, he is improving a lot since we first started. He's a great guy.
Nana is the oldest of the girls. She has a hard time trying not to talk (I'm the same way, is just difficult not to say something when there's a lot to say) and she's always willing to help.
Here are some of the other guys. Is such a blessing to work with all of them, even though, sometimes I wonder how I got involved in this
We couldn't forget the cake!!!
And we like for the celebrated one to taste it first!!!
This is Frank. He gave us permission to get Josue wet, he shouldn't. He payed for it!!!
Now, if you think I didn't get wet.......
Here are some videos.....
