Light & Life Christian School---
After end-of-year reports were made in October this year, the entire staff created Big Books in Ixil. This year they specifically targeted the 1st grade level. Some of the stories are original; some are translated or "retold" from Spanish.
First they write the story, and then they work on the illustrations. During breaks from drawing and coloring, they project the words on a screen and read the stories together to make suggestions and to correct spelling and grammar before printing. You'll see them sharing their lunches and a little of cleanup at a typical sink.
We appreciate your participation in improving education for Ixil children!
Sharon, and for the Ixil Staff
