Harvest Fun Fair
This year’s Elementary School’s Harvest Fun Fair was a blast! Students dressed up as Pilgrims, Indians, and Turkeys – talk about cute!!!!!!!! The children also had an opportunity to play several games, such as Tic Tac Toe Ring Toss, Turkey in the Straw and Roll The Gourd. Our Elementary School students were able to work on Pilgrim and Indian crafts, as well as getting their face painted by our talented National Honor Society students. The day ended with each student receiving a bag full of candy. A perfect ending to a perfect day!

Library Fun
Kindergarten is enjoying time at the library. They are creating their own Jan Brett books. We have been working on coloring and putting together a mini “The Mitten,” book wonderfully colored by our own Kindergarteners. Of course we have also read the books, “The Mitten,” “The Hat,” and “Gingerbread Friends.”

Writing in Shaving Cream
In our Early Reading Intervention class we have learned and reviewed seven letters and sounds. We are so proud of ourselves because we can identify most of the letters, sound and even write them. It was a lot of fun writing them using shaving cream.
We are also proud of ourselves because we can write our names without looking at our nameplate.

Literacy Day/Crazy Hair and Hat Day
This year we decided to combine two events to create one incredible, exciting fun filled day for our Elementary School students on Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Our Fellowship Hall was transformed into a wacky hair salon called —– Hairy Situations. Teachers had to confirm their appointment with Tanya, one of the salon stylists, who was working the front desk. She welcomed in all our students who came in to salon. Many of the students and teachers walked in to the salon with crazy hair or hats. For those who didn’t have a hat, we provide hats for them.
We played music videos and sang along to some popular Veggie Tale tunes. After a fun time of singing, students were treated to books about hair or hats. After story time, the students watched some of our High School students act out a skit based on a Bible character named Samson. (Did you know the source of Samson’s strength was his hair!) During this fun time for students, teachers and aides were getting their hair done at the salon by a wacky hairstylist.
We wanted students to not only have fun, but to learn and get excited about reading!
Many students and teachers said this was the best Literacy Day ever!
Please check out our gallery on the school’s website to see some great pictures!
Fun In Gym Class
Kindergarten through second grade did scooter races. We used the scooter in different ways like lying on your stomach, on your knees, backwards, and forward, making it very challenging but lots of fun!

Learning About Melody
Students have been working hard on Melody this month. They have been looking at low notes versus high notes, skips & leaps in the melody. They have learned these various key elements in music through playing on the glockenspiel, using motions to illustrate low and high pitches as well as Kodaly hand signs. These classes have also begun their work on the Christmas program which is held in December.

International Week
China. India. Mexico. Brasil. Nepal. Switzerland. Peru. Spain. These are just some of the 73 countries beautifully represented by our students and staff and Evangel Christian School. We held our semi-annual International Week to celebrate the heritages of our families. This year, our celebration took place from October 19th through October 23rd. Throughout the week, students had opportunities to research one or more countries that their families are from, present objects or pictures from their country to their classmates, and dress in their flag’s color or in an outfit native to their land. The highlight was definitely the food sharing portion of International Week where students brought in a dish to share with their peers. From “arroz con pollo” to “roti” and “flan” to a “guarana” drink, both students and staff alike appreciated the delicious and rich culture they got to partake in. We culminated our week by bringing students and staff down to the huge world map located right beyond our main entrace where they put a pin in the city and country they are from. On Friday, the last day of the event, we held a special missions-oriented chapel where an alumnus, Joseph Lee, talked about his parents who are missionaries to Indonesia and showed a slide presentation of their work there. Check out the wonderful pictures in “galleries” and be blessed as you see the excitement on the student’s faces as they show pride in their heritage!
October has been an exciting month. KV was able to go to Green Meadows Farm on our class trip. We were able to pet and feed farm animals, enjoy a hayride, and pick out pumpkins. Kindergarten had a great time and enjoyed baking pumpkin seeds the next day in class.
