Symmetrical Painting
Symmetry is all around us. Most plants are symmetrical, shapes and even people! If you split a flower down the center both sides are identical, being that spring was just around the corner students took a sheet of paper painted a flower on one side then folded the paper over and rubbed it onto the un-used side making an identical flower.

Pet Rocks
Pet rocks are great for those of us who don’t have time to feed and walk our pets. Students chose a rock and painted it into a pet of their choice, some made ladybugs, spiders, dragonflies etc.

Crunch Time
June was very exciting and time crunching month. From our McDonald’s luncheon to our Dinosaur week exploration to preparations for graduation, it has kept us on our toes. They enjoyed learning about the dinosaurs, reading about them and even getting to pick their favorite one. They learned that dinosaurs laid eggs like chickens and were very excited to receive an egg with a dinosaur. It has been my pleasure to have taught Pre-K 4 and been a witness to such amazing children. Enjoy your summer!

PreK 4 Students are the best
The month of May was a good one, and even with all the changes, the class persevered. We enjoyed our trip to Chuck E. Cheese. There was so much laughter and fun they were wiped out from all the excitement when we returned. The parents that joined us on this adventured enjoyed it as well.

How does the music make you feel?
As the year comes to a close, students have been working on expression in music. They have learned to express the way they feel when certain types of music come on. They have even looked at paintings from various artists who have drawn pictures while listening to music. The students have been able to listen to various pieces of music and create their own piece of art.
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.

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.
