This is a slideshow of Doulos Discovery School here in Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. It's only 2 minutes long, but it shows the difference between Doulos and the public school system here. Enjoy!

I can't believe it is March. The school year here at Doulos is flying by!

In 3rd grade, we are finishing up our simple machines unit in science. Our class is constructing a seesaw (lever) for the playground as a final project. We started studying Ancient Egypt in geography. It is always everyone's favorite topic all year. We will be making a pharaoh and then mummifying him!

Above is a photo of one of my students, Wilson. I just want to praise God, because I have been seeing some progress! I am still trying to figure out how he learns best... I've been using a lot of manipulatives (learning toys) with him in math tutorials and he's getting it slowly but surely!
