Fractions
Did you know that we use fractions every day. Well 5E learned that we use fractions on a daily basis more than we think. We use fractions for cooking in measurement. We use fractions for sharing like a half of a sandwich. We also use fractions for filling our gas tank as well as telling time and of course slicing a pizza into equal pieces.

Bones
The hip bone connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone connected to the leg bone well you get the idea. In our Science lab we had to make a ball joint using a paper towel roll, rubber bands, a rubber ball and pipe cleaners and balloons. They had to make sure their joints had flexibility if it wasn’t done correctly the ball would pop right out to the joint. We learned the importance of having parts of the body that bend.

“Christmas Hang Ups”
“Christmas Hang Ups,” the title of our elementary program this year was another take on what Christmas is really about. Our students told a story through the eyes of Christmas ornaments. It showed us how we get “hung up” on so many things, other than the true meaning of Christmas. The students sang, danced, and acted out the true meaning of Christmas. It was a great night filled with great joy of our Savior coming to this earth, Jesus Christ, and there were over 500 in attendance
Please see “Galleries” for some great pictures.
Color Mixing
Did you know there are at least three different ways to mix the color brown? 3-5th grades do! They can mix virtually any color from 5 basic colors: primaries, black, and white. They also prepared for the Christmas season by making homemade, decorated Christmas cards out of construction paper, miniature templates, markers and glitter.

Wish List
To enjoy the Christmas season and learn new skills in word processing such as changing fonts and centering text, we made fun things like colorful Christmas poems and bulleted Christmas lists. Some of the Christmas lists were pretty incredible. I wish I could have a jet pack for Christmas too!

Spirit Week
I was impressed with how many students in both elementary and middle school entered a drawing, painting or collage of our school mascot, the eagle, in the first ever Spirit Week art contest here at Evangel. Thanks for participating, guys!

Colors, Colors, Colors
Upper elementary students continued to master their knowledge and manipulation of primary, secondary, and neutral colors. 4th and 5th grade also created monochromatic, or single-color, drawings. They learned that a single colored pencil can be very versatile!

Literacy Day
Our Nativity Story Literacy Day was a great success. We read so many books about Jesus’ birth and some of us even dressed up like angels, shepherds, Mary, Joseph, and the wise kings. We had a blast!

The Ture Meaning Of Christmas
December has been so exciting! We are getting in the true spirit of Christmas by making Christmas cards for the veterans in the VA Hospital in Brooklyn. We have prayed for them and we want them to know that we love and appreciate them!
