A Day on the Farm

We've been learning all about the bountiful life on a farm throughout the past two weeks at La Puerta Abierta.  We finished our unit with a trip to a honest to goodness farm in Tzanchaj.  Children and animals had a great time!

Celebrating our Amazing Mothers



May is the month of mothers in Guatemala.  Last week, we honored the mothers of La Escuelita Puerta Abierta and showered them with songs, poems, presents and cake!

And We're Back....



The 2012 school year began just over a month ago and in addition to welcoming 19 new preschool students, we also greeted 15 of our returning students from 2011 into our recently established kindergarten class. We're delighted to have one more year to work with our preschool "graduates" and we are ecstatic to share our program with so many new children.

We're off to a productive and positive start to the school year. We've been painting, cutting, singing, dancing, laughing, reading, building and creating. We're looking forward to sharing snapshots our our days at La Puerta Abierta with you via our blog. Enjoy!
