Maps
In Social Studies we are focusing on geography. Our second graders created their own compass maps and learned to give directions by using North, East, South and West. They have also learned to use map keys and understand what they represent.

Soil, Soil, Soil
In Science we have looked at properties of soil. Students examined clay soil, sand soil, and potting soil. They examined texture, color, nutrient value and porosity. Then we planted radish seeds in these three different types of soil, it has been exciting to see how our plants grow in these types of soil.

Beetle Glyphs
For this month we are focusing on Unit 1 which is patterns. Students have explored the two types of patterns growing and repeating, through the use of pattern blocks.
Students also created Beetle Glyphs to represent data about themselves such as their birthday, their favorite season and how many family members they have living with them. They came up with some beautiful creations.

Stick Puppets
After a great tour of the Material for the Arts warehouse, 1c reused and repurposed donated material and created our very own stick puppets. The class had a great time learning about all the different materials and art supplies donated for artists and art educators. Supplies used from the warehouse helps to protect our environment.

On Monday, October 17, 2011 Kindergarten and Pre-k3 had a fun filled day at Queen County Farm. For most of us it was the first time riding in a large yellow school bus. It was so exciting! We also enjoyed the bumpy hayride through the farm’s nature trails. After receiving a guided tour of the farm animals we were each able to select our own pumpkin to take home from their pumpkin patch. Out tour guide taught us how pumpkins, as well as other vine crops, grow from seeds. We ended our trip by eating lunch in one of the farm houses. We all had a great day and looking forward to our next trip.

Each day of the week was filled with something new… from wearing the colors of our flags, to country costumes, to food and desserts from our homelands. Each new student gets tpplace a marker in our wall map to represent where they are form.
We are so blessed at Evangel and we thank God for blessing us with such diversity.

“Evangel Newsletter”
October 26th to the 30th was Spirtual Emphasis week at Evangel. Students had an amazing week during our Spiritual Emphasis week. Our younger students learned how God loves them just the way they are. They alsocompleted crafts and sang songs each day with our theme, “Panadamania.” The students are continuing to learn that God is “wild” about us! Our older students had an amazing week as our speakers, Ron and Heather Rhoads flew in for the week to share the love of God through the Word and song. Many students responded to the message that was given each day and we are blessed as a staff to see the seeds being planted in our students’ lives.

Fuzz-oodles
In Kindergarten music, you often hear, Do you have the fuzz-oodles? The children love to guess what the teacher is making with the fuzz-ooodles, and then we sing about it and move to the music of the song. Our constant focus is always moving to the music, expressing with our body what we hear, and keeping a steady beat. In this class we have volunteers to come to the front and lead the class. When this is done, I often see the creativity in the student to find creative moves, expressing the words of the song. They have talent!

Let’s March
In 1st grade music, we are reviewing the different instruments that are played in a band. The children move to the music, while we constantly practice rhythm through clapping, moving our arms, sliding from side to side and jumping here and there. Another activity we combine with learning about different instruments is marching as if we are a marching band, and playing with expression the instrument assigned to each child. It is a fun time!
