Vida Elementary School Chijulhá grade five

Your class is learning a lot this year! In Grade 5, the students are discovering what it means to belong to the Body of Christ and learning to rely on the power of God to face daily challenges. They demonstrate a keen interest in learning to live according to biblical principles and moral, ethical and civic values, and they are also learning to understand the Bible’s structure. In Grade 5, students are continuing to work on math concepts such as fractions, ratios, proportions and decimals. They are learning to write well-structured paragraphs and to express emotions, feelings and thoughts through oral presentations, dramas and songs. They are learning to use science and technology, previous knowledge and research to creatively propose solutions for real-world issues.

Vida Elementary School Chijulhá

The Agua de Vida Chijulhá campus is located in the community of Chijulhá, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala and hosts two school programs: an elementary school (opened in 2018) and a junior high school (opened in 2023). This class is part of the Agua de Vida Chijulhá Elementary School which serves over 150 students from Pre-kinder to Grade 7 from five surrounding communities. Many homes that our students come from have only one parent present, and it is not unheard of to have siblings on their own for extended periods of time. It’s very difficult for families to find food to eat each day. At the Vida School the children are given a daily meal and are provided with resources and support which otherwise would prevent them from attending. Children at Agua de Vida Chijulhá Elementary School are receiving an academic education and lives are being changed as students learn to seek God and bring His love home to their families. Our hope is that they will grow into godly leaders who will serve the Lord and impact their community.
