Growing and Learning Together!

How has God shown up in your class? 
The presence of God appears in our classroom when I teach students how to pray and when we study a Bible verse every day during class.  Teaching them these things makes them respect others. 

What are some notable updates or activities that your class has been a part of? What was the occasion and why is it important to your culture? 
Christmas is a big event for us. We love to celebrate it with our class and show them the real meaning. We sing songs, dance, and color to mark this day before the school holidays.
Flag Day (the 18th of May) shows the students the importance of our flag.
Labor and Agriculture Day (May 1st) plays an important role for our class, when we teach them the importance of nature and how they can help take care of nature.

What is your favorite memory from this year so far? Something that made you laugh? Cry? Praise God? 
My favorite memory is that one of my students wrote a decent note to wish me a happy new year. It made me happy and I thank God for allowing His love to have an impact in the lives of my students. 

What are some activities or events that you and your class are looking forward to?
Day of Reflection is a day when we talk about our country.
Spiritual Day for students is every Friday. This is when they have time to sing songs and ask questions about the Bible. 

Is there a Bible verse that your class has been studying? Or maybe a verse that God has put on your heart during this season? 
We recently studied Proverbs 3, verse 13. We always study one verse each week in order to teach the Bible to our students and help them better understand the word of God. 

What would you like to say to partners who are supporting the class and students? 
I would like to thank our supporters for their willingness to help these students in their schooling. May God bless you for your generosity towards them. We will pray that you will stay healthy and that God will continue to provide for you. 

Prayer Requests:

• We would like you to pray for our students so that they stay healthy and can progress in their schooling. We want this year to be productive for our class. Last year was rather difficult due to political issues and the coronavirus.
• We would like you to pray that these issues do not affect us this year.
