The Pre-K classes have been enjoying their library time with Corduroy books. We have read a selection of books written by Don Freeman. The titles we have enjoyed are; “Corduroy,” “Corduroy Goes To The Library,” and “A Pocket for Corduroy.” Our tiniest students have loved listening to stories of this cuddly bear and his adventures.

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!
Pk3 has enjoyed listening to summer time stories such as “Henry and Mudge and the Forever Sea.” It gave us a great opportunity to talk about the outdoor summer activities that we engage in. They had lots of fun talking about their trips to the beach and pool.

For the month of May and June the classes enjoyed learning gymnastics.
The students did basic movements like toes to the head, tumbles, bridges, banana rolls, and cartwheels. The students also got involved in activity games like relay races, scooter races, steel the bacon, red light green light 123, cat and mouse, parachute activity, baseball basics, and basketball shooting game.

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.

Hooray we made it! School is finally over. Pre-K 3 had a blast at the end of our year party. We made cupcakes with sprinkles and gummy worms. We all enjoyed the pizza party and all the cnady. We also went to Astoria park and had an end of the year picnic. Parents were more than welcomed to come. We all did a huge obstacle course and played many different sports and activities. Ices were given to all the students as a reward for being so well behaved. Also awards were given to each chicdl in honor of all their hard work and completion of our Pre-K 3 year. God bless you all and have a wonderful summer.

In May we celebrated a month of springing into Summer. We had so much fun decorating and creating our very own rainbow fish. We also saw the movie “Rainbow Fish” and sang songs about caring for one another.
Mrs. Rivera
Students in Pre-K learnind new songs this month. They also had fun learning sign language for the songs.

Both PK classes have been “reading” books on their own. They have gotten a chance to walk around the library and pick books that they want to look at. It’s great to see how they love books. We have also continued to read one book together as a class at the beginning of the period.
