We spent the first week of the Summer Sojourners three week term in the Department of Chiquimula. We had plans to do an English Week at El Olam school in Jocotan. What started out as a four day plan ended up only being two days because of road blocks that prevented us from reaching the school. I will share about those two wonderful days in separate posts due to the large amount of photos I took. Here is a look at Day 1-
Arriving at the school and ready for a fun day of teaching English classes.
Our morning schedule for the week.
We taught the preschool and elementary students in the morning and the middle school students in the afternoon.
Trey, Bella, and Olivia
We began the morning with an assembly. We sang songs, read scripture, shared testimonies, and ended with David giving a devotion.
Isaac sharing scripture and Melanie translating.

Olivia, Karsyn, and Mollie
We then split into groups and started teaching. Each group was assigned a grade. Karsyn, Mollie, and Cruz had the fifth grade class.
Olivia and Trey taught the fourth graders.
Isaac, Bella, and Melanie taught the sixth grade class.
The time with the preschoolers was extra fun!
We taught the lower elementary classes outside.
We ended the morning with more songs.
Goodbye hugs from the sweet elementary kids.
After an hour long picnic lunch break at the school, we welcomed the middle school students that afternoon. We split into three groups. One group reviewed numbers, one group reviewed vocabulary, and the other group was for conversation practice. The three groups rotated between the student teachers.

We ended the afternoon with a time of song and devotion. Here is David sharing with the middle school students.
There is a large mango tree on the school property so the students enjoyed a fresh mango snack before we drove back into Chiquimula.
Here is a video from our fun day at school.
This was on Monday. We did not get to return to the school until Thursday. I will share about that day next.
