Vida Elementary School Chamché (PM) grade four

Your class is learning a lot this year! In Grade 4, the students are learning to recognize their gifts, talents and abilities and to use them for the benefit of others, and to use biblical principles to address conflicts. They continue to learn that God created them and loves them. They are working on their reading comprehension and writing paragraphs with coherence and structure. They are continuing to work on problem solving in math, and recognizing ordinal, Mayan, and Roman numerals. They are learning about national authorities and their roles in the community. They are learning about the senses and their functions, as well as the major organs of the human body, 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)

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Elementary School Chamché (PM) located in Tactic and has been in operation since 1993. The school has been the focus for many short-term mission teams who will remember the remarkable transition that has taken place as the original facility expanded. It now provides an elementary program for both a morning and an afternoon shift. We opened this afternoon shift in 2013 because we were having to turn away many children due to lack of space in the classrooms. There are approximately 160 students from Preschool to Grade 7. Many of the children come from families with difficult home lives. A lot of the parents don't have permanent work and many of them are not Christians. Many of these children walk a long way to get to school every day and by the time they get home in the evening it's already getting dark outside. Our desire is that the students and teachers would continue to learn more about the Lord, that they will become leaders with the fear of God in their hearts, bringing the love of God to their families.
