Exploring Outer Space

We're studying the universe this week at La Puerta Abierta.




Candelaria has shared many stories about the planets.





We've painted planets.






And made our own solar system.








A Celebration amongst Generations









Today is Mother's Day in Guatemala. We'll have a great party this morning for the mother's of our students with loads of festivity so, we dedicated yesterday to celebrating the "grandmothers" in our town. We visited the Sharing The Dream Elders' Center in Santiago Atitlan which provides hot lunches and health services to 65 elders in our community. Hugs, flowers, songs and stories were exchanged between the elders and our preschool students.

Friday Paseo

Fridays are fun days at La Escuelita Puerta Abierta. Last week, we visited Pueblo a Pueblo's community school garden in Panabaj.


Diego gave us a tour of the organic garden.




We saw radishes, cilantro and cabbage.



And learned that there are a variety of plants that we can eat!
