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.

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!

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!
