This year we had over 500 in attendance at our Annual Academic Banquet. Students that have made the Honor Roll, High Roll or Principal’s List are honored each year with trophies at our banquet. The gymnasium was decorated in Red, White and Blue and the food was fantastic. We had a great time celebrating all of our students accomplishments. Way to Go!!!!!

Reader’s Oath – by Debra Angstead
I promise to read
Each day and each night.
I know it’s the key
To growing up right.
I’ll read to myself,
I’ll read to a crowd.
It makes no difference
If silent or loud.
I’ll read at my desk,
At home and at school,
On my bean bag or bed,
By the fire or pool.
Each book that I read
Puts smarts in my head,
‘Cause brains grow more thoughts
The more they are fed.
So I take this oath
To make reading my way
Of feeding my brain
What it needs every day.
Children and adults need time to unwind and enjoy the summer, so make summer reading fun! Summer shouldn’t mean taking a break from reading (or learning) since students who engage in reading activities return to school refreshed, excited and ready to pick up where they left off. Also remember that most Evangel students have summer book reports to do so…
Here are some tips to make reading a positive experience:
Keep LOTS of reading material around the home –books, newspapers, magazines and always, the Bible
Read outdoors – at the park or beach
Read to your child (it doesn’t matter how old or young your child is!)
Let your child read to you (older children can read newspaper or magazine articles)
Visit the library, check your local library’s website for special reading-related
activities and age-appropriate book lists
Model reading – turn off the TV and each person reads his or her book
(including Mom, Dad, grandparent)
ASK them what they think about what they’ve read and LISTEN to what they say

Have a wonderful summer!
3G likes to read quietly on their own. We have some great book lovers in this class. It is a blessing to see when students love to read. Some of their favorites are “Left Behind The Kids,” “I Spy,” “Eyewitness Books,” “Nancy Drew,” and the “Geronimo Stilton” series.

Students made thank you/we’ll miss you cards and posters for their teachers. These cards showed the children’s appreciation and were placed in their teacher’s mail box on the last day of school.

Students had a great time learning about all kinds of percussion instruments this month. I think this is probably the most fun instrument group for all kids!

It has been an exciting year this year in Third grade. We have learned all about plants, bugs’ skeletons, and so much more in Science. In Bible we talked about three young boys, Joseph, Daniel, and the life of Abraham. In math we had a great time using all the math games and working with partners and showing all our strategies on the overhead. The reading program this year was fun and we even made bugs form a story about spiders. Yes, as you can see our year was jam packed with fun and learning. We used every opportunity for expericing fun and understanding through learning. Have a great and Blessed summer.

The 3rd graders had a final Social Studies project, where they had to present to the 2nd graders what they learned about the 50 States. Each student had to do their own research, find information and write it down and then draw the state. They were GREAT. In the process WE learned so much. The posters are in the 3rd grade classroom for all to view.

The 3rd graders are so excited about Math this month Our Number Corner calendar markers for June show how to reduce fraction’s and make them into a decimal. We have a chart that we use to keep a record of the examples. They are very proud of this and show anyone that comes in what they know.

On Sunday, May 3, 2009, the congregation of Evangel Church was treated to a spectacular display of talent! Evangel Christian School’s littlest lambs, from Pre-K3 through 5th grade, sang, danced, read scripture, and gave awesome testimonies for the glory of God.
Featured in the annual Elementary Spring Show were the Junior Praise Dancers who performed to “Holy Spirit, Rain Down” and the Junior Chorus singing “He Knows My Name.” The Junior Drama Team gave a hilarious account of “The Eight Dwarf”–a mini-play featuring the character, Forgetful, who although he forgot many things, God never forgot him! Forgetful, and the audience, learned that he was fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)!
The grand finale featured the Junior Chorus and Praise Dancers coming together in “Firm Foundation”.
Teachers and students alike worked hard to make this production possible and it sure was worth all the hard work! Check out our school’s picture gallery to see the performers in action!

Grades 1-3 have been exploring their music heritage and that of their fellow students. Learning the musical cultures of the Caribbean had allowed them to see and hear how God gives us all music to make a joyful noise unto Him!
