Vida Elementary School Purulhá grade one

Your class is learning a lot this year! In Grade 1, the students are learning to express worship and praise to the Lord voluntarily in their devotions, demonstrating gratitude through their attitudes. They are learning to recognize the Lord as their creator, and they exhibit a keen interest in discovering and developing the gifts bestowed upon them by God. They are learning that obedience is reflected in their positive behavior both within and outside the school, and they are learning compassion and repentance in the face of mistakes. In Grade 1, the students are exploring the initial stages of literacy and mathematical operations. They are learning to recognize and write numbers from 1 to 100, identify and trace alphabet letters, and understand consonant and vowel combinations. They are continuing to learn aspects of personal care and hygiene

Vida Elementary School Purulhá

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Elementary School Purulhá in Purulhá, a small town located approximately a 25-minute drive southeast of Tactic. The public schools are filled to capacity with only 1,200 of the 10,000 school aged children from the area. This means that 8,800 school spaces are needed. The mayor of Purulhá implored us to plant a school in his community, and he donated a large piece of land to Impact Ministries for the construction of a school. We opened the doors of the school in January 2007 and provide an elementary program for approximately 150 students from Preschool to Grade 7. Most of these children come from needy and broken homes our hope and goal are to raise them up to be leaders who serve Him and influence the community around them.
