The best craft we made in November was our Turkey hands. The childrens’ hands were traced for the turkeys’ body and it’s feathers. We used googly eyes to make the turkeys look silly. Best of all, we portrayed all of our hard work on our bulletin board. All of our turkey hands were placed in the shape of a huge cross with the saying, “We are hungry for you Lord” written below it!
For classroom Art we created Indian necklaces out of macaroni. We dyed the macaroni many different colors with food coloring. We encouraged the children to follow a patterning sequence, such as yellow-red-yellow or orange-green-orange. Everyone had lots of fun!
Elementary School’s Christmas Program took place on Friday, December 12, 2008 – “Through the Eyes of the Friendly Beasts”. Third through fifth grade elective classes performed the drama, dance and chorus part of the program. Pre-school were dressed up as the world’s cutest angels. Kindergartners were the kings and brought gifts to Baby Jesus. First and second graders were shepherds out in the fields keeping watch over their flocks.
This program had us view the Christmas Story through the eyes of the animals that were present that Holy Night. The Sanctuary was filled with parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and many friends. Over 700 were in attendance.
Please check out “Galleries” to view some really cute pictures.
This year we will be learning the numbers 1-10 and all the letters of the alphabet. We will do so by playing educational games and doing fun and creative activities!
Mrs. Rivera
My name is Desiree Rivera and I am the new Pre-K 3 teacher. This is my first year working at Evangel and my first year working as a head teacher. Growing up I always had a desire and passion of becoming a teacher. I love working with children, especially in a Christian school because I am able to express and interpret the love of Jesus Christ. Not only through His Word, but by the way that I speak to the children and portray His genuine love.
Students have been making macaroni and cheese art paintings this week. They are quite colorful and very unusual. They are enjoying experimenting with color and paint.
We have been reading books about fall. We read “Fall Is For Friends” and “We Are Going On A Leaf Hunt.” We have gone over the different colors that leaves turn into and have been creating and coloring our own leaves.

Students in Pre-K to 5th Grade have enjoyed reading books in the library and also enjoyed reading together as a group. Pre-K 3 has especially enjoyed being read to. They have enjoyed the stories of that curious little monkey, “Curious George.” They like listening to his adventures because he is just as curious as most of them.
