Clowning Around

We've been working with our students on how to read. We've discovered the best way to develop their vocabulary faster is to create memorable experiences around the concept. This week, we read a story about face painting and a little clown who was "Clowning Around." After the story, we painted the students faces just like the child in the book. The kids loved it!

Some People Take Their Work Home With Them, Our Work Never Lets Us Go Home!

Agape Christian Academy is accredited by one of the largest, and most highly accepted Accreditors of Christian Schools in the world. Oral Roberts University(ORU)  is our connection with International Christian Accreditation Association (ICAA), which allows Agape students to be accepted to continue their studies at any University in the world. 

ORU and all persons on the ORUEF Accreditation Board came to Agape to host a teachers conference this past month. All the surrounding schools of Progresso, Yoro, Negrito, and several others were invited for this exceptional time of development. 

In order to prepare for their visit, we teachers spent hours updating our classroom decorations to make sure every detail was accounted for. 

Here is some of our work that kept us at Agape until the wee hours of 2:00 am. Who knew cutting letters and designing posters would take so long? ;)

Praise God we really impressed ICAA and the conference was a grand success!

Where Will You Spend Eternity?

We were privileged to perform a very powerful drama in the city of El Progresso that shows different scenarios of people's lives before and after they die. They all are in heaven when they realize what happened to them and they had to give an account of their life.  Each would ask the angel, "Angel! Look for my name in the Book of Life!" Some would be welcomed into eternal glory with Jesus, and others would be turned away, because they denied him on this earth. It is a privilege and honor to have Jesus Christ as our payment for our sin and KNOW we can spend eternity with Him. If you haven't made that decision - today is the day!

It was a powerful drama and 90 people asked Jesus to be their Saviour and Lord - to spend eternity in heaven with Him!

Where will you spend eternity? 

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever shall believe on Him, will not perish, but have everlasting Life." John 3:16

Stock Up When You Can!

Living in Honduras has been a blessing, but there have been a few life adjustments along the way.

One of the largest is not having a car. This means whenever you need to run an errand or go somewhere, the search begins to first find someone who needs to go to the same place, and at the same time as you.

You can imagine this can be difficult at times. So, we have leaned there are some things you just need to stock up on, and the most important thing is, GROCERIES!!! :)

Here is just an example of our large purchase at Junior Supermarket. This grocery store has everything you could want and it comes at a great price. We may only go once a month to this store, so between my two roommates and I, the car was packed.

Star Artist: Michealangelo

 We started a new theme for our weekly Art Class called "Star Artist." We teach our K-5 class about some of the greatest artists of all time. This week was Michealangelo and the Sistine Chapel.
We gave a PowerPoint presentation and I was able to share with them my experiences of when I traveled to Rome.
The students then got to paint their own masterpiece, looking up at the ceiling, just like Michealangelo did to create the Sistine Chapel. They had a blast!

Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

K-5 Future World Changers

This week in K-5 we learned how God has a plan for each of our lives and that we can be and do anything we want to be. All things are possible through Christ! (Phil. 4:13)

To illustrate this, we had the kids dress up and come to school as who they would like to be when they grow up.

Off the Preschool

I have been working with our Spelling Bee Champions to prepare them for the national competition coming in February - they're going to do great! Meanwhile I have also been waiting for my next placement in the school.
This week I was asked to step in as the Assistant Teacher in our K-5 Preschool Class!
Although a completely different structure, all the experiences and skills I learned from teaching Fourth Grade has been a great base for learning to work with kindergarteners.
