Lucy Rose and Her Days at Sojourn Academy in Costa Rica



You may not know it, but Lucy has been attending a Spanish kindergarten and preschool class at the Institute while I am in my Spanish classes.  She was originally going to homeschool with teacher Jarrett with the other kids, but when we arrived, we learned that she could join the Spanish-speaking preschool and kindergarten classes.  So she begins her day at 7:30 in teacher Monica's preschool class, the same Monica that taught Annie when she was only two ten years ago in 2002.  At 10:30, she heads over to teacher Victoria's kindergarten class to finish off her day at 1:00.  She loves her teachers and her classmates and especially loves learning Spanish.  In fact, she is convinced she speaks Spanish better than anyone else in our family.  :)  That may be questionable, but we have been very impressed with how much she understands and can speak.
Lucy and her teachers, Hannah, Monica, Caroline and Victoria.  Her sweet smile tells you how much she loves them!
                                 Lucy loves doing her activities at school!
                                        Lucy and some of her buddies at recess.
 Each devotional time, some of the children pray for the class and their families.  On this day, Jacob, Nathan and Lucy each had a turn praying.  It is precious to hear your child pray to God in another language.

                      Lucy loves singing in Spanish with her friends Felipe, Jacob and Lily.
                                               Singing fun songs.
                                          Snack time with her buddy, Lily.
                        On Lucy's last day, the class prayed for her and her family.

     Lucy prepared a presentation on baby chickens and shared it in Spanish with her class.
This is teacher Ulda who was Caroline's preschool teacher 10 years ago.  How special it was to return to the Institute and find these precious, faithful teachers still loving on kids.
