nueva clase


The preschool in Los Higos has now completed a year of service to Los Higos and began a new class two weeks ago. Whereas last year the school had 12 students, this year they have 20. They are divided into two classes- in the more advanced class, eight of last year's students are learning to read. In the lower class several new students and a few from last year are being introduced to letters and colors and will eventually move on to sounds. Most of the new class are three-year-olds, although there are a few that haven't had their third birthday, yet.
Carmen Luz, who volunteered last year with Johana, is teaching the new class and Johana is teaching the more advanced class. Johandry (Johana's baby) comes to school and a neighbor girl comes over and watches him during class.
