PRE-KINDER CHAPEL

Pre-Kinder's Turn

Last week it was our turn to lead the Elementary Chapel. For this special event we asked Mr. Ramos to be our guest speaker. He did a wonderful job reminding us about how special we are in Christ.

Some of the Latest Special Events

Nick's Visit

As many of you know Nick Vujic visited Colombia a couple weeks ago. We were blessed to have him come to our school for a special chapel. God used his words and testimony to touch many hearts in our school. The students enjoyed meeting him and hearing about his life experience and about what God has done in his life.

Welcome Hannah

Two weeks ago Hannah came to join pre-kinder! We have really enjoyed getting to know her. Her joyfulness and openness have made it easy for her to adapt to our classroom and add many things to it. Welcome Hannah and we are very happy to have you be a part of pre-kinder and ECA.

Pizza Party

Our class won the library prize! We won all the points for behaving well in the library. The students' efforts were rewarded and encouraged with pizza and ice cream. Nice job pre-kinder kids!

Many Blessings!

OBED Conference

Teaching Teachers

Last week we had the wonderful opportunity to attend the OBED conference. Not only were we able to attend but also able to teach two workshops. In the workshops we shared strategies that we use to teach English in pre-school, it was a learning experience for us as well. We enjoyed sharing with our colleagues and were impressed by their eagerness to learn and desire to become better teachers.

Orange Octopuses in the Ocean

At school we also had a wonderful time learning the sound for letter "O". Here is a picture of our Orange Octopuses in the Ocean.

International Festival

This is the song in Portuguese that Miss Pame taught us. We sang it on Thursday for international chapel.

CANTA AO SENHOR

Meu Cristo, meu Rey
Ninguém é como tu
Toda mina vida quero exaltar
As maravilhas do teu amor,
Consolo, refugio
Torre de força e Poder
Todo meu ser o que eu sou
Nunca cesse em adorar

Canta ao Senhor toda a criação
Honra e poder majestade ao Rey ,
Os montes caiaram e o mar rugirá
Ao som do teu nome

Canto com gozo ao ver teu Poder
Por sempre eu te amare e direi
Incomparáveis são as promessas do
Senhor

Thank you for coming to our International Festival!

Welcoming our New Students

We have been blessed to have two new students in our classroom. They both arrived to Colombia recently. Simon came from New Zeland, and Sung Eun from Guatemala. We are happy to have them both be part of our class and our community. Welcome to ECA and to Colombia!

Celebrating Valentine's

We had a wonderful time celebrating Valentine's at "Prestolandia." The kinder and Pre-Kinder students were able to play and have a special lunch. It was a great way to celebrate this special holiday.

Have a great week!

Marching for Peace!

Monday was a very special day. At 11:20 am we got our Colombian and white flags out and walked outside as a school to the main road, to be part of the big March! Since our students are the youngest students at the school they got to lead the march. The whole school followed us, as well as, the staff and some other schools from the area.
The students were quite excited to be part of this important day in the history of our country. As we were marching we were chanting, "We want peace," and “No more kidnapping." At noon we ended our march with a minute of silent prayer for our country and those who are kidnapped!
We thank God for having been able to participate in the march, this day will remain in our minds forever!

Time is flying!
