"Our first graders are learning that English is not only about academic skills, but also about values that shape their hearts. In this activity, the teacher Carmen Matilde Hernández taught them a simple yet meaningful prayer: ‘Dear God, Thank You For My Family, My Teachers, and My Friends. Please forgive my mistakes, and make me a good kid during the whole day. Amen. God bless you!!’ With joy and innocence, they repeated each word, showing that from an early age they can grow in both language and kindness."
