Students have been working on percents and decimals. We have completed many activities that helped us learn how to use them and figure them out.

Students are studying integers and rational numbers. They have begun adding and subtracting these numbers and will continue on with multiplying and dividing as the month continues.

Middle School is learning about the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. They will understand why some of his works are so famous (such as Mona Lisa and the Last Supper). Students will then make a self-portrait, using chalk just like Da Vinci did in the only picture we have of him.

March is the month that tests many things especially discipline and heart. Winter is waning and the end of school getting closer. Students must get recharged out of the winter blues, be persevering at staying on task with schoolwork as well as deal with the usual winter illnesses. March is also an exciting month because of the Academic Fair, March 19th. This is a great time for students to shine who are not always the top of the class academically. It allows creativity and performance skills to blossom. It even benefits those students the most who are willing to work as a team with parent and teachers to study, write about, and present their topic and project of interest. We can all benefit from remembering: Galatians 6:9,”Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” and Ecclesiastes 9:10,”Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”

Evangel has two new teams that have enthusiastically come aboard, bursting with fresh ideas. Each team has re-named their edition of the paper. The high school edition will now be called “Cutting Edge”, and the middle school edition will be called “Eagle Eye”. We look forward to our first edition coming out soon.

Students have been working hard on their Academic Fair projects and we started the first quarter by reviewing what goes into a quality research report. This brings us to an exciting new unit on writing an autobiographical narrative. Students will work through a writing packet, brainstorming ideas as they recall childhood or recent memories. Those memories can be funny, exciting, or sad. We’ve had a great time sharing those memories aloud in class as we work on the prewriting stage! We will be writing the rough draft and the 8th graders will be expected to incorporate dialogue into their narrative.

Middle School Reading has been reading using SRA Reading Laboratory kits. These kits provide individualized skills instruction, permit independent work, promote students’ sense of responsibility, and let each student move at his or her own pace, according to individual ability.The practice selections in an SRA Reading Laboratory kit are by no means just sterile skills exercises. They are short stories and articles that students actually enjoy reading, and they are sources of a great deal of incidental learning as well-about plants, animals, history, science, technology, discovery, fine arts, social institutions, sports, and our cultural heritage. Importantly, they range over past, present, and future perspectives.
Children don’t just learn to “read better” by using the program; they discover what it means to become readers. They gain pleasure, information, and-if the ultimate goal succeeds-a lifelong love of reading in all kinds of subject areas. They learn to read for a variety of purposes, and they discover what it is to read in a wide range of content areas.

This month we have been using our conversational Spanish using all the phrases that we have learned until now to speak with each other during class. Our emphasis has been on different ways of introducing ourselves and learning what to say when we meet someone for the first time.

Students have been working hard on their Academic Fair projects and we started the first quarter by reviewing what goes into a quality research report. The end of February brings an exciting new unit on writing an autobiographical narrative. Students will work through a writing packet, brainstorming ideas as they recall childhood or recent memories. Those memories can be funny, exciting, or sad. We’ve had a great time sharing those memories aloud in class as we work on the prewriting stage! We will be writing the rough draft the end of February and the final project will be due in March.
