Resource Room I really want to keep my students on task and not loose momentum, however, in some cases we have to start rebuilding momentum. In the aftermath of Academic Fair the classes evaluated how they did by going through each rubric and comparing what are the differences in the requirements for a “D”, “C”, and an ”A” research paper. A hindsight view of “what’s it all about” will also be explored by evaluation.

Eight grade students concluded their study of World War II by learning about the Holocaust. Students watched a personal testimony of a man who survived the Holocaust. Students were appalled by the racism exhibited by Germany against the Jews, the dehumanizing conditions Jews faced in concentration camps, and the devastating legacy the Holocaust has left on the Jewish people.

Andrew Jackson was a “man of the people.” He lost his father and mother at an early age, and was an orphan at the age of fifteen. He knew the hardships and struggles faced by the common person. Students not only learned about his upbringing, but also controversial decisions, such as removing the Cherokee Indians from their homeland in Georgia, which forced the Cherokee to trek the trail of tears to Okalahoma where thousands lost their lives. In response, students enjoyed writing a personal letter to President Jackson, expressing their frustration with his Indian removal policy.

The United States owes a great deal to the country of England. Students learned the history of England and the British Isle. All students selected a specific event from England’s history and completed a project over it. Projects included posters about the Great Fire of London and the Plague, newspaper articles about the Puritans and Separatist, and songs depicting the brutality of World War II.

There is little doubt that all have committed the sin of covetousness. Students in 6th grade learned about why the sin of covetousness (or jealousy) was wrong, and how this sin could hurt their relationship with other people.

Students have been working on geometric lessons. They have had lots of fun making tanagram puzzles.

As the year ended, the students in computer lab mastered one last part of technology. The students learned how to use Microsoft Publisher 2007. Microsoft Publisher is a program where you can make greeting cards, signs, and more. Some of the middle school students even got the privilege of making cards for their mom’s to celebrate mothers day last month.

The Creative Writing Festival is an annual event held by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) where students can use their written talents to express themselves. Entries are first judged on a district level and those receiving a score of “Superior” (the highest possible) are then sent to the regional level.
Evangel had the honor of having three of our students sent to the regional adjudication. On the regional level, each of these three received marks of “Excellent” and therefore will be showcased in a Creative Writing Booklet published by the ACSI Northeast Regional Office.
The students are Jennifer Munoz of 4L, Lauren Vicuna of 8F, and Stephanie Reis of 11C. We are so proud of their hard work and congratulate them on their expressive writing!Mrs. Candelier
As the school year comes to an end, it’s always great to see where we have progressed and also see the areas we still need to improve on. In the beginning of the school year each student filled out a little card writing down any areas in their lives where they would like to see change. The time finally arrived to hand them back to the students! This was just a great way to see so many of them encouraged, knowing that God can change many things just in a matter of a few months. This year our students have learned the amazing power of prayer….that through Him all things are possible! My prayer is for each and every one of them to carry on what they have learned into their everyday lives even their summer vacation.

Students have been learning about summer and winter activities. The majority of the class loved talking about things they do in the summer compared to winter. So we decided to do a project in class by creating a vacation brochure. They made a brochure of know places and places they made up to create either the best winter or summer vacation.
