This week 4L went on a wonderful Field Trip to see a play on the life and heroism of Harriet Tubman. It covered her life as a precocious child in slavery to a brave (if not headstrong) runaway slave, who eventually became a “Conductor” in the Underground Railroad and helped over 300 other slaves escape. She was a true heroine!

In Social Studies our theme was the fight for freedom. We delved into women and African Americans struggle for equal rights. We learned about brave women who fought for suffrage (the right to vote) and men who fought in the Civil War. We also rejoiced over President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation that put an end to slavery in all states.

Stop by room 204 and see if you can find the snails. The first graders have been busy reading about snails and making snails. You will find them on the door, if you open the right one.

“Character” was the theme that was emphasized during Ronald’s visit to Evangel on Tuesday, March 10, 2009. The students played games, saw a puppet show and had a great time learning about Trustworthiness, Fairness, Responsibility and Respect. Even the teachers got involved as Ronald told a story and they got a chance to act it out. We are very grateful to McDonald’s for sending Ronald to our PreK – 3 through 6th grade to share how important character is. We can’t wait until he comes to visit us again!!!!!!

On March 3rd, Evangel Christian school participated in the annual Read Across America project of the National Education Association, which celebrated Dr. Seuss’ 105th birthday. Dr. Seuss, the man who taught children that reading is fun was born, Theodor Seuss Geidor in Springfield Massachusetts, on March 2, 1904.
On this fun -filled day, Mrs. Jimenez came dressed as the Cat in the Hat, had the most fun of all, as she read several stories to the students written by Dr. Seuss. Hop on Pop, The Cat in The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish were read to Pre-K3- 5th grade.
The students also went home with worksheets and door hangers created in class to remind them about the importance of reading. Our Pre-K 3’s made Cat in the Hat hats and ended their celebration by making their own green eggs and ham the following day. A great big “Thank You” to Mrs. Jimenez for all of her hard work!!!!

Our class is participating in a race around the United States. The 3rd Grade class wrote letters to Christian Schools in all 50 States. Each student was given a State and a school to write to. We had a time to “Brain storm” ideas and then they took off writing and drawing pictures. At the close of each letter, the children ended their letter with “God Bless You” and “Write me back”. That hand extended was so Christ like,and it was a blessing to me.

What Do you Notice About Whales?
We are recalling that crabs and lobsters have helped us learn to count by 10’s and sea stars by 5’s. After some observations and listening to a poem about whales … each of us have made a paper cut out whale for our class Chart “Whales’ Tails Have 2 Flukes Each”.
All our whales were assembled into a triangular arrangement – one more whale in each row. After we have learned that each whale has two flukes this will help reinforce counting by 2’s.

As we are learning about compound words the students were very excited when I gave them books and had them look for compound words. They did a great job searching for compound words. Mrs. Bienemann
