Vida Elementary School Chamché (PM) grade three

Your class is learning a lot this year! In Grade 3, the students are learning to take care of themselves, recognizing their body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. They are learning to understand their uniqueness and purpose within their family and community, acknowledge their mistakes and shortcomings, and show initiative in seeking reconciliation. They are working on effective oral and written expression, including spelling and punctuation, and problem solving, including the addition and subtraction of fractions with the same denominator. They are continuing to work on recognizing Mayan and Roman numerals. Grade 3 students are learning about the functioning of the major systems of the human body and how that relates to personal hygiene for maintaining health. They are learning about the purposeful creation of everything, recognizing balance and interdependence in the natural environment and assuming responsibility for its care, and how to classify living creatures based on common characteristics. They’re continuing to learn to follow instructions and take care of their classroom.

Vida Elementary School Chamché (PM)

Located in Tactic, Guatemala, the Vida Chamché campus hosts two elementary programs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, serving over 500 students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 7. This class is part of our afternoon program, which draws children from the town and surrounding mountain villages—many of whom walk great distances each day to attend. The afternoon session was established in response to the number of local parents seeking Christ-centered education for their children. Because of its central location, the surrounding community is treated to the sound of the children’s voices lifted in worship during their daily devotions. Many neighbors have testified that they look forward to these moments, joining the children in prayer from their own homes. At Vida Chamché, students receive a quality education as their lives are transformed by the Gospel. Our hope is that as they learn to seek God and share His love with their families, they will grow into godly leaders who serve the Lord and impact their community.
