Primero-They are reading..and even better, I think they enjoy it! We've been working on this for a few months now and the students are catching on more quickly than I thought they would.

Prepa- They just began reading this past Monday. Week 1 has been tough but I think the kids are progressing(and I hope they don't forget everything they know over the weekend). A few have caught on right away, the majority are coming along fine and I have a few that are struggling.
Coloring Book Project Update- The 2nd grade received theirs this past Friday and were so excited! Some of the kids from the upper grades are beginning to ask me "Profe Amanda Maria, when are we getting ours?" Today I went to the Honduran version of the dollar store and bought hundreds of markers for the upper grades. When I was checking out, the couple that owns the store told me to come by sometime when the store's not busy because they have some stuff they want to give me for the kids. I'm going back tomorrow so we'll see what I get.
Soccer Tournaments!
Apparently, our kids from the campo(country) are amazing soccer players. This past week's school schedule has been crazy because of the soccer tournament for all the private schools in Siguatepeque. The tournament is for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders so I haven't gotten to go watch the games .....yet.
Missions Day- A sucess. After a few months of planning we pulled it off.

Prayer Requests
1. Some of my Prepa students aren't doing as well in my class as I would like them to. Pray that they can focus and their grades will improve because I really don't want anyone to fail Kindergarten(Preparatoria).
2. Patience.
