A new day at school



It is not in the classiest neighbourhood in town (pardon the pun) but our children's school is a nice safe place to be that wonderfully combines faith with learning. Today was our kids first full day of school and yes, most of them received homework. So far they really like their teachers and seem to be very keen to do good work for them. All the teachers are from the United States and Mexico and they are Christians. The student body of about 60 students seems to be evenly made up between Americans, Canadians, Mexicans and Koreans. The parents of the students are mostly missionaries but some are also living here for business or they work at a diplomatic mission. The children engage in all the usual subjects one would have north of the border but have the added benefit of learning Spanish from a wonderful Mexican teacher. English is used in class but Spanish is the language of choice on the playground.
