A few weeks ago I was able to share in our morning community meeting about all the things God is doing in our Little Builder's Preschool & Foundation School. If you've been following along you know that this quarter was a big one for us. We added 7 kids from our Classic Discipleship Training School and 1 middle schooler from our Community Transformation & Development School, plus as I told you before we also had several toddlers waiting to join us as well. Needless to say, this quarter has been quite busy!! We opened our Toddler Class in May with 5 kids and on those days, we averaged 22 kids total in our classroom! On our non-toddler days we still had an average of 17 kids in one classroom! WHEW, no wonder I was exhausted most days!!
As I prepared to share with our staff, students & guests, I decided to make a video showing what our normal day looks like. Many of our staff & students have never been inside the preschool as they don't have kids that attend and some think all we do is play. Plus I was only given like 15 minutes to talk and those who know me know this is NOT enough time, haha!! (and we HAD to be done early cause MEXICO was playing that morning at 9 in the WORLD CUP) This video allowed me to share what we do, the importance of what we do & show off the amazing skills of our students all at the same time & still have a few minutes to share some prayer requests at the end. Check out our awesome video below, bonus points as it is bilingual, just like our class!!! (ps, i translated it myself & only had a few mistakes, SCORE!)

 Our preschoolers even got to sing 2 songs with motions, 1 in Spanish & 1 in English, during our morning meeting. | One prayer request that we shared was more teachers!! We are in desperate need of more people to come alongside us & commit to a quarter or even a whole school year. They don't have to be qualified teachers or even speak Spanish, just have a love for children. If you or anyone you know is interested, click here for some details for the upcoming Fall Quarter. If you (or they) can't do the Fall Quarter, we will have opportunities all throughout the year in 2015 as well. The Lord really blessed us with some AWESOME teachers for this Spring Quarter & I know He has some awesome ones in store for this next one as well!! |
