PEPE -- By Meg

About a week ago we went to visit a baptist preschool called PEPE. 

Our good friend Montinho works there. 

PEPE is a program that teaches kids ages 3-5 their ABC's, 123's, 

and how to write their name, and so forth. 

It is a very western concept to have a preschool or 

for kids to know how to write their name at a young age.  

They have a class every morning and every afternoon. We went to the afternoon class. 

There were about 35 kids there. 

When we got there mom read a book called, "Duck on a bike" 

that she had translated into Portuguese. 

We then gave them each a duck mask to color. 

Showing off their masks.

We sang some songs with them.

After we finished Montinho gave us a little tour of their classrooms.

Here Montinho is singing the snack song with them.
They were so proud of their masks that they would not put them down.

Here is Montinho's class room.

Here is the front of his classroom. 

It was so fun to get to see the work that Montinho is doing for the Lord.

Hugs,
