The start of a new school year in Peru

After the facilities were prepared, the school began on March 10th with around 75 students (up from the 40 from last year). Nisha will be teaching Mathematics and Art to the five year olds. Jon will be teaching Physical Education to all the classes. 


 Teachers make final touches on their room decorations before the students arrive.

 Rachel, from Venezuela, is teaching the six year olds class in the church auditorium until their classroom is finished being built.
 Parents of the three year olds wait to see the adjustments to the first day of school.
 Registration on the first day is always hectic with having to answer so many questions (where do I go? Who do I pay? When does it start and finish? etc..)

 Meeting together for the first chapel and orientation time in the auditorium.



 Five year olds seem to be ready to go for day one of school.

 Four year olds are still making adjustments.


 Jon realizes that teaching P.E. to three year olds will take patience and the help of each of our children.



 Matthew is really good at playing with the students. He wears his superhero cape and allows the students to chase him.
Of course, when he gets caught by them it turns into a great big pile-up.

 But even those watching seem to enjoy the time  Matthew gives to them.
