Rhythm
Students have been focusing on rhythm. They have identified various types of drums as well as other instruments. Students have been able to come up and demonstrate beats on the drums. Another fun way the students have learned rhythm is through tennis balls. It is a great music method called, Dalcrose, where students apply the number of beats per measure with a particular pattern using a tennis ball. It has been an exciting month seeing students play instruments and learn about rhythm.

ABA
Students have been working hard on learning about form. We have used a lot of dancing to illustrate form. The younger students learn simple AB form where they move one way during the A section and then they move another way during the B section. They not only learn to sing the music, but to move to it as well. As the student gets older, we have learned ABA form and ABACA form. They are having a great time of movement and singing in the class.

Peacock Bookmarks
Reading is fun but its tough when you forget which page you left off at. Students made lively peacock bookmarks using Popsicle sticks, feathers, googley eyes and markers. There’s no better way to save your page then with a bright peacock!

Over 1,000 people cam to Evangel on Thursday, March18 to experience our Annual Academic Fair. Students in PK through 12th grade, worked for 2 and one half months to create a Research Paper, Project and Project Board for our fair. Students picked a topic of their choice from a variety of subjects such as: Science, English, Bible, Home Economics, Fashion, Art, Design, Technology, Math, Music, History, etc…
As you entered the school you experienced the sound of music, the smell of delicious foreign foods cooking, students super excited to share about their projects, dancing, acting, singing and so much more. Although the Academic Fair was a lot of work, it was well worth it.
We thank all the parents, students and staff for their hard work to make this year’s Academic Fair a HUGE success. We look forward to next year and if you didn’t make it this year we look forward to seeing you then.
Please check out our PHOTOBLOG and GALLERIES for some fantastic pics.
Skating on Paper Plates
Students have learned how to ice skate on paper plates to music this month. It has been very fun to see them do this. As the music changes from a fast song to a slow song, they change the tempo of their bodies. As a teacher it is neat to see how they are learning to move in correspondence to the beat.

Come Watch Our Seeds Grow
We have at-home and in-school projects with seeds and plants growing, to get ready for the March 18th Academic Fair, which in Pre-K 4 this year is a Science Fair. The students are having a blast watching our little seeds become seedlings! See you at the Fair!
We can sing in other languages
Singing is a part of our daily class routine. We learned a song about George Washington and the Yankee Doodle Dollar. Our song reminded us that Lincoln helped free the slaves and was loved by many.
We also learned “Are You Sleeping, Brother John” in English and French and next we will learn the song in Spanish and Portuguese.
A to Z
We are almost done with the alphabet. Writing the letter of the week continues to be a weekly challenge but we pray and Jesus helps us. We do crafts to remind us of the letters. We made umbrellas with raindrops, shiny stars, decorated Tt, and made vegetable soup and wolves to remind us of those letters.

How high can you count?
We have learned up through the number 15 and are now learning about money. We are learning the names of the coins and how much money they are worth. Soon we will continue our math journey to number 20.
Every day we practice counting from one to the current day number when we do the calendar. We did a class graph and saw that more people in our class prefer mittens to gloves.

Who is on our money?
Pre-K 4 Continues to be a busy place. In Social Studies we learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and how he worked hard to teach people to be friends and to get along. We learned that George Washington was the first president of our country and appears on the one dollar bill. Abraham Lincoln was the president who helped free the slaves, and HE is on the five dollar bill. We learned about Ground Hog Day…it sounds like we have more winter coming!!!
