Regular Spanish
This Spanish class is an introduction to the basic structures and vocabulary of the Spanish language. We use the Rosetta Stone Program. We are learning from basic survival Spanish to identifying objects. We started creating our own word bank/picture dictionary to remember the new vocabulary words we learn everyday.

God Hates Pride
Students have been learning how God chooses the sometimes unpopular choice in people to do His work. They have seen through the life of Jacob and Esau how most people would have chosen Esau but God chose Jacob because He sees the inner man. We’ve also taken it a step further in what God hates. The perfect example of this is the pride of Satan. This caused him as well as many other angels to fall. In class we are having many great discussions and students are very interested in this topic.

Jesus invites us to have a personal intimate relationship with him, yet is it possible to have a relationship with someone we don’t know? Jesus’ life is transparent and open for all of us to see. In an easy, short chapter novel, titled The Story of My Life as told by Jesus Christ, read and discover His love, His miracles, and even those things that frustrated him that you may possibly learn of him, walk with him, and fall in love with him.
P.S. I serve tea too…

International Week
China. India. Mexico. Brasil. Nepal. Switzerland. Peru. Spain. These are just some of the 73 countries beautifully represented by our students and staff and Evangel Christian School. We held our semi-annual International Week to celebrate the heritages of our families. This year, our celebration took place from October 19th through October 23rd. Throughout the week, students had opportunities to research one or more countries that their families are from, present objects or pictures from their country to their classmates, and dress in their flag’s color or in an outfit native to their land. The highlight was definitely the food sharing portion of International Week where students brought in a dish to share with their peers. From “arroz con pollo” to “roti” and “flan” to a “guarana” drink, both students and staff alike appreciated the delicious and rich culture they got to partake in. We culminated our week by bringing students and staff down to the huge world map located right beyond our main entrace where they put a pin in the city and country they are from. On Friday, the last day of the event, we held a special missions-oriented chapel where an alumnus, Joseph Lee, talked about his parents who are missionaries to Indonesia and showed a slide presentation of their work there. Check out the wonderful pictures in “galleries” and be blessed as you see the excitement on the student’s faces as they show pride in their heritage!
The Cosmetology elective is more than just make up application. Students are learning about different skin types and how to properly treat their skin. Students are learning about natural skin cleansers and scrubs and have made these natural products during their class time. Our students look forward to learning techniques on theatrical makeup, as well as children’s face painting in the next couple of weeks.

FREEDOM CRY – an original short one-act play by David Ham
Freedom Cry takes a close look at Mary’s life in the time of great transition and change.
In a modern and present viewpoint, this play explores the possible peer pressures and conflict Mary faced while a teenager, engaged, pregnant and a virgin. This play, along with the inserts of poetic shorts, ultimately demonstrates the power of God’s favor and peace in the time of great challenge.
Fashion Elective- The Fashion elective is gearing up for a fashion show at our upcoming High School Christmas Program. Under the direction of fashion designer and highschool senior, Diana Rodriguez, students are being measured and fitted by one of kind designs. So far our designer has created fall/winter dresses for female models and blazers for male models from our 11th and 12th grade classes.
“Tongxue-men hao!”
I am pleased to introduce Beginner Mandarin elective class this year. We are going to learn some basic conversations (greetings, introducing yourself, and friends), and to learn how to read and write simple Chinese characters, numbers (1-1000), days, months, week, and birthdays. A group activity will be taking place such as: practicing conversation with your partners, introducing your family to your classmates, and singing songs in Chinese. Not only that, but we will be watching a biography of Gladys Aylward movie, and learn some facts from China Today every week. Always remember the three nuggets for learning a new language: set a side a few minutes every day to memorize new words, repeat-repeat-repeat, and find a friend to practice if you can not practice by yourself. See you at class!

Since we are learning vocabulary associated with food this month, we have been doing some exercises that deal with the same. The students had to write their favorite recipe in Spanish including ingredients and preparation process and then spend one class day tasting the delicious dishes. Everyone brought a dish in and shared it with their classmates as they presented it orally in class. I must say it was a satisfying class!

This month we began a chapter that deals with train travel. The students have begun a special project that will help them exercise their vocabulary learned. We are making a model, poster
or collage of a train station labeling every part of it and will be presenting it in class. Students are required to do the presentation in Spanish and give a step by step explanation of their experience traveling by train. It should be interesting to see the final product and to hear them practicing their Spanish with their peers!
