A Poem For Mom
For Mother’s day our students had to utilize their creative abilities to write poetry for their caretaker. They also enjoyed purchasing affordable gifts at the school for Mother’s day.

Let’s Run
Our students couldn’t wait for the Jog-a-thon. They enjoyed working on their class banner. The Jog-a-thon was not only an opportunity for our second graders to raise funds for the school, but it was also a time where they could get a work out and have fun with their friends. Most of the students were amazed at how many laps they were able to run. They enjoyed seeing their teachers running along side of them cheering them on. It was a fun day of laughter and excitement.

Ronald McDonald Promotes Literacy
“Literacy” was the theme that was emphasized during Ronald’s visit to Evangel on Tuesday, May 19, 2010. The students sang songs, saw a puppet show and had a great time learning about “Book Time” and the love of reading. Ronald encouraged our students not to “play the day away, but to grab a good book and go on an adventure!” We are very grateful to McDonald’s for sending Ronald to our K-5th grade students to share how important it is to love reading and to read books with excitement!! We can’t wait until he comes to visit us again!!!!!! Thank you to the McDonalds Corporation for their generosity in choosing our school for their community outreach efforts.

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!

Beginning Typing – no wait – Keyboarding
The students in elementary have begun a focused unit studying the history and basics of keyboarding. We have taken a speed test and many of the students have some natural ability. The students are exploring Microsoft Word and love drawing pictures for each other in Pixie, our basic illustration software. Jump start is a great addition to your home software collection. The students love playing it and they learn about many different subjects from playing it.

Elementary and Middle School students worked long and hard to prepare for Evangel Christian School’s annual Speech Meet. Students selected various forms of speech such as Bible scripture or a poem to recite. They were judged on how well they present their piece using just their voices to convey the feeling of their work.

The Easter Story
Every Friday during our reading intervention sessions students in grade 1-3rd take a sentence reading assessment, which entails weekly phonics skills, high-frequency words and the vocabulary words of the week. Students who complete their daily reading and homework assignments do very well.
On April 1st, the last day before beginning our Easter recess and after we completed our sentence reading assessment the students enjoyed reviewing the Easter story using the resurrection eggs. Each egg had a small item; a donkey which reminded them of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and 11 other items representing the Easter story. In addition to using the resurrection eggs, the students learned that years ago during the Lent season people made a bread that would remind them that they should pray. Each student was given a home-made chocolate pretzel to observe how the dough was shaped like arms that cross the heart in prayer. After making this observation and discussing the importance of prayer we also enjoyed the chocolate covered treat. So, whenever you see a pretzel think of it’s origin and remember the importance of prayer. Especially during Lent when we recall the forty days Jesus spent in the desert, fasting and becoming strong as he thought deeply about fulfilling His mission on this earth.

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.

Having a Ball in Gym Class
Students have been learning how to play soccer in gym class. They are learning how to get the ball to go in the direction they want without using their hands. They are learning how to guide the ball with only their feet. They not only get to kick the ball but they also take turns learning to be a goalie. The goalie has to use his hands and body to try and keep the ball out of the net.

Lets Dance
Students are having a great time learning line & folk dances to traditional folk tunes such as “Alabama Gal”, “Old Brass Wagon,” & “Dinah.” Once the students get passed having a partner they do a great job of singing and dancing to the music.
