Fun Projects
Students will be constructing a variety of art projects for math. For the acuminating project, students will choose a personal favorite topic. They will construct a song, poem, or rap. The lyrics will be placed on small poster boards for display. They will also have an option to create a math game as an end of the year project.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
In celebration of a man who helped changed our outlook of equality and what it entails, students were split into groups of two. After choosing a quote from a bowl they had to discuss what they believed the quote meant and had to make a visual of the quote. The Poster had to include both the quote and a visual representation of the quote. This exercise helps students use symbolism, learn from each others view points (as some of the translations of the quotes differed) and to reflect on how Martin Luther King Jr. had a major impact on the world we live in today.

To Speak Or Not To Speak
On April 30, 2010, Samantha Byrne (8th), Angelie Cesario (8th), Jerry Meng (7th), and Kristina Papacostas (8th) represented Evangel Christian School at the annual Association of Christian Schools International Junior High Speech Meet. These four students worked hard to memorize works from the Dramatic Reading, Dramatic Poetry, or Humorous Reading categories. There were two rounds with different judges the students had to recite their pieces to, using only their voice and emotion to convey the author’s thoughts. Each of our students brought home a rating of “Good” and was awarded with a ribbon and certificates and the awards ceremony. We are so proud of our Speech Meet Team and look forward to continuing to build it up and enter more categories in the future!
Office Masters
We are working on two basic projects right now. We have begun working through the Learning Office 2007 textbook, which is a very well designed book that will teach our kids how to skillfully use office software and prepare them for the future. We are also working on improving our keyboarding skills, which is going quite well. Some students have improved their typing rate by as many as 25 points in just the last three weeks!

Young Illustrators
We have begun using recipes4success.com regularly. Our first set of activities was a series of tutorials in Twist, the kid friendly version of Adobe Illustrator. The kids have loved using it and many of them have had their incredible work posted here. In the lab, we are also developing our keyboarding skills and learning about other software, such as Powerpoint and the rest of the Microsoft office suite.

Bake Sale
On Thursday, April 15th, the National Junior Honor Society held its second bake sale. NJHS chose the NY Foundling, a NYC foster care agency, as the service project for the 2009-2010 academic school year. Our treasurer, an 8th grader, was adopted and suggested we raise money for foster children, and the members of NJHS supported this idea whole-heartedly. A great surprise was a Hershey’s fondue set that was brought in. The students made “fruit kabobs” and offered a non-chocolate version for a healthy food option that was appreciated by the staff! We pray that in the remaining school months we will reach our goal of a total amount of $500.00. Our April 15th sale raised over $100.00! Check out the photo gallery from some fun pictures from our sale.

Elementary and Middle School students worked long and hard to prepare for Evangel Christian School’s annual Speech Meet. Students selected various forms of speech such as Bible scripture or a poem to recite. They were judged on how well they present their piece using just their voices to convey the feeling of their work.
Evangel congratulates all of the students who participated.

Monumental Sculptures
Working in groups they selected a snack, they then constructed a super sized version of the snack out of cardboard boxes, paper, tape and paper mache. After it was constructed they painted it to look exactly as it looks in real life (nutritional facts, expiration dates, logos etc). Once the completed the project they displayed them for the entire school to see.

Lets make towers
Our 7th grade math classes have been exploring volume and area. In a recent class activity we built towers using 1 inch cubes and then we drew what they looked like from the side, front and aerial views.
