NYC Exit Project
Students will be working on the New York City Exit Project in Social Studies for the month of November. Students will investigate a topic within the Progressive Movement in depth. This will allow students to experience immersion in a social studies topic, as well as question, investigate, and present a well-researched project.

Great progress
6th Grade is really progressing in leaps and bounds in Spanish. We have been learning about other countries and their currency. The students worked on projects that help them learn more about Central American children and the toys they play with. November has a lot in stored for them learning about days of the week, seasons, and the months.

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.

Liberty Science Center was a blast. We had students learning about the passing of communicable diseases. Students were able to walk through a simulated sneeze, ride a subway car that showed the students how easily diseases would pass from one area of the world to another. We also had students take the challenge to protect their bodies from diseases in the form of a video game. Of course the students were really well behaved while learning about diseases. (7th grade covers life science.)

The 6th grade recently visited the Museum of the Moving Image. This 60 minute tour was led by a Museum Educator and took the students through hands-on exhibits that encouraged them to think about how movies and television shows are made. They visited a new exhibition called “Jim Henson’s Fantastic World” (the creator of the Muppets and known for his work on Sesame Street). Our group also recorded movements in front of a camera and a “flip book” was made. They did “voice-overs” from the movie “Babe”. They watched a silent film from a movie made over 100 years ago! And laughed it up in the end watching a famous episode called “Job Switching” from the 1952 television series, “I Love Lucy”.

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.

Learning New Things
What a wonderful beginning. The students are learning about so many new wonderful things. So far, they were introduced on how to greet someone in a formal and informal manner. The students have also learned about Miguel Cervantes and his famous writings of Don Quixote. They are also learning about Spain and Mexico.
