Our eyes opened in wonder as we watched the space shuttle discovery take off for the space station. This proved our science project about temporarily defeating gravity – “What goes up must come down.” However, in our science project we proved that gravity could be defeated temporarily when force is added. We also learned that the space shuttle doesn’t need a huge socket in outer space, because gravity works differently outside Earth’s Atmosphere.

We are learning about Isaac Newton and the theory of inertia. We used a hard-boiled and a raw egg to prove this theory. We proved that an object that is standing still needs a force to move it as well as a moving object needs a force to bring it to a stop. The application of the theory is also school rule that I share with 5E, “No running in the school hallways.” :o)

If you had a magic brush what would you draw to help someone in need? 5E’s Reading crew drew everything from money trees that would be planted in everyone’s yard so that no one would be poor to walking couches that can take you or your family anywhere you wanted. 5E used their imagination to help paint like the character in our story The Magic Paint Brush.

We finally picked the winning cover for our recipe book. After much discussion the judges came to an agreement that Dean Cuadrado’s artwork expressed exactly what the recipe book represents. All the students of 5E did a great job and have put much effort into our healthy eating project. Bravo!

Who is afraid of the parallelogram? “Not I,” says 5E. In math we learned, to find the area and perimeter of a parallelogram and rhombus. We made our own angles and learned that when we come to Christ we do a 180-degree turn, because we turn away from our sin. If we do a 360-degree turn we are right back where we started. God wants us on a straight path like a 180-degree straight angle.

Science seems to be the favorite subject in 5E. We never thought we would be composing different kinds of molecules out of colorful marshmallows and toothpicks. 5E worked diligently together in groups to build molecules of water, hydrogen, and carbon as well as glucose. A good scientist never eats their experiment, or do they?

Singing, Dancing, Eating, Rapping, Performing, and Sharing were all a part of our Academic Fair which took place on Thursday, March19 th, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. What an exciting evening it was for all – students and visitors alike. Students in all grades had been working feverishly since January on their projects and reports and as you walked aroung the school the aroma of wonderful foods filled the air. Foods from India, Africa, Guatemala, and many, many more countires were represented. THe sounds of students talking with visitors, projects humming, music playing, and students reciting were all sounds that filled that evening. There were many different sections to the Fair: Technolgy, Dance, Art, Science, History, Health, Bible, English, Home Ec., Countries, and many more. Many students dressed up to represent a certain person, or country; there were also scientific dissections to witness. Students were so excited as they got the chance to explain their projects and research to our visitors – nearly 1,000! What a great job all teachers, staff, parents and students did! We applaud you and can’t wait until next year!
As overseer of Chapel, it has been my desire to see the hearts of our students be drawn closer to our Lord and Savior. The Lord has been faithful to hear my heart’s cry. There has been such a growth and hunger in our students to worship God and carry out His purpose for their lives. From Elementary to High School, there has been steady growth and our Spiritual Focus for the year has truly been our anthem:
Philippians 3:13 NIV
“I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Please continue to pray for our chapel services. We need to continue to ask God to open our children’s hearts and minds, we need the Lord to anoint our worship teams and we need God to empower every speaker who shares.

“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!!!!
