Working Together
During the month of November, the second graders in My Sidewalks Reading Intervention class read about Working Together. We learned what to do in dangerous situations, what makes a team, when does sharing make sense and when should we work together or work alone.

People In Communities
During the month of November, the first graders in My Sidewalks Reading Intervention class read about People in Communities. We learned how families work together; how we learn together at school, and who makes our neighborhood a nice place to live in.

Early Reading Intervention Class
During the month of November, the kindergartners in our Early Reading Intervention class learned to identify 11 letters and sounds. We also learned to isolate initial and final sounds using a 3- square strip. We are discovering that we are more capable than we thought!!

We Are Thankful
This month has been a busy and exciting month for kindergarten. We had the opportunity to visit our local library, and listen to funny stories from the librarian. We have also had the opportunity to make shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Some of the children filled shoeboxes with toys, food, toiletries, and small articles of clothing for the children in other countries. We even received a chance to be filmed for the upcoming Operation Christmas Child promotion video. In class, kindergarten expressed how thankful they are for all they have, and we prayed over the children that would receive each shoebox. During our Thanksgiving Holiday we will remember all that we have.

Third Grade Fun
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the 50 states. It has been fun to watch them learn all about the state capitals. In our Bible time, we have been taking about character.

Our Gingerbread Man
Well … We were very sad when the Gingerbread Man that we baked escaped from the oven… But he is keeping in touch and sending us postcards from all over the United States and telling us all about his adventures. He also made sure to send us each a gingerbread cookie to decorate and gobble up! We have been thinking of all the different ways he could have escaped from the oven………….. We hope he doesn’t get eaten up.

Operation Christmas Child Visits Evangel
Operation Christmas Child, a ministry under Samaritan’s Purse, asks people to fill shoe boxes with items and love yearly, to distribute to children in need around the world. From basic essentials like toothbrushes and bars of soap to fun activities like crayons and flash cards, people around the world give a little bit of hope to children who may not otherwise have any.
Evangel Christian School continued our tradition of packing shoe boxes. On Friday, November 13th we dedicated these shoe boxes to the Lord at our chapel services. Students shared testimonies about what packing a shoebox meant to them. We prayed that these shoe boxes would reach their destinations and that the child whose hand a shoebox landed in would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
We then received the honor of having a film crew from Operation Christmas Child come to Evangel on Tuesday, November 17th to film our students praying over their shoe boxes. Selected students also went up to our roof to shoot various plugs for OCC! This footage will be used in future Operation Christmas Child promotional videos. How exciting! The OCC film crew and staff were impressed with our children’s enthusiasm and the abundance of shoe boxes collected. Colorful posters and even some students wearing self-made t-shirts graced the sanctuary for all to know that Evangel loves Operation Christmas Child!
In total, 211 shoeboxes were packed and more than $800 (that could be visibly seen in a shoebox) in donations were collected. These donations cover the shipping costs for each of the shoe boxes.
More than 69 million children world-wide have been impacted by Operation Christmas Child and Evangel is so proud to be a part of this. Check out pictures from our chapel and the film crew coming to visit in the Galleries section of our website!
We pray that many children will be blessed this Christmas season! Thanks to everyone who helped to make this event a success!
Cowboys and Indians
We had an interesting review in Social Studies this week. We were cowboys and Indians for the Harvest festival. It was the Cowboys against the Indians and it tied right in to our previous lesson about how the Indians were changed by the settlers leading us into the very first Thanksgiving. After our game of Jeopardy the Indians won taking a lead of 13-10. However all the children felt as if they won because all of them reviewed the lesson.
