Thankfulness
November is a great time to think about all of the things we are thankful for. God has blessed us in so many ways, and it is important to take time each day to tell Him how much we appreciate it. We’ve been reading many books about being thankful.

Forgiveness
October is all about forgiveness. Through Bible verses, books, and class discussions we are learning about why forgiveness is so important. Forgiveness is deciding that someone who had wronged you doesn’t have to pay. We can all think of a time when we were forgiven, so we also must forgive others.

International Week at Evangel was filled with diversity an a unique blend of rich cultures. Over 73 different nationa are represented at Evangel and how awesome it is to share about our heritage with eachother.
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.

Recorders
In the 4th and 5th grade music classes, the students are rapidly progressing in playing songs on the recorder! They learn fast, they are eager and also excited to play solos. We have spent time on scale drills, on the song Hallelujah, and also introduced the song He Knows My Name, which have great lyrics. Put a recorder in their hands, and they are even inclined to write a song of their own. Great class and some musicians in the making!

Stepping Up Ceremony
We worked hard and now we have made it!!! Middle school here we come!!! I don’t want to leave 5th grade, can I stay one more year. These were some of the last comments and thoughts as 5th grade prepared for their stepping up ceremony. As each one shared a thought it reflected what had taken place in the last 10 months. At the very end the students came to the conclusion that fifth grade was there best year ever and that they would never forget it. I only have one thing to say PRICELESS

Rock Climbing, Nature walk, and power swing – a class trip couldn’t get any better than this!! Each endeavor came with a challenge attached. As put by one of the students the rock climbing was like a symbol of life. In your life there are going to be easy parts to climb and hard parts. Don’t let the fear like a giant scare you from climbing the wall to reach the goal. Which, in this case was a cow bell at the top of the most difficult part of the wall!

Gracie Mansion
Did you know about all the History here in New York? Well 5th grade became adventures as we went to Manhattan and took a visit to Gracie Mansion. The tour guide explained how it is the governor’s place of meetings and how we can also participate in a tea party. All of this was because the Dutch settled New York first. If you see a blue, orange and white flag it represents the Dutch flag and if you take a look at the Met’s baseball team they wear the same colors. I recommend if you have never been to visit the governors house please do you will find it very interesting.

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs
Did you know that for every human there are 100,000 insects? Some of you might think this is gross but 5th grade had a great time being scientists and investigating their own insect. At the end of our unit each student had to make a presentation about their insect. It is amazing how many different insects there are and how many more have not been discovered yet. Each insect that was spoken about had a divine purpose and is part of our ecosystem. As 5th grade shared we all learned facts that we didn’t know about each other’s insect.
