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)

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.
