Vida Elementary School Chijacorral 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 Chijacorral

This class is part of Impact Ministries' Vida Elementary School Chijacorral. This is the second school that we opened in Tactic in January 2009. The Chijacorral property was donated to Impact Ministries in 2008 because the community wanted to have a Christian School on this side of town. Our original Tactic school in Chamche was overflowing with no room left to build on. Very quickly the classrooms in this second school in Tactic filled up. There is a definite hunger for more of God and a better education for the children in this community. Currently, there are approximately 250 elementary students that fill this school in the morning. The Chijacorral site in central Tactic is the host location for the Medical Clinic and our High School campus.
