Sparkle
In November, students have been learning about indirect and direct objects and practiced identifying them in contest. Students also wrote their own sentences using each vocabulary word. As a class, we played a review game called Sparkle to prepare for the Vocab. Test.

Reading Class
During the month of November, Students read The Magician’s Nephew. To demonstrate comprehension, students answered several questions in written form. They also used their notes to write examples of conflict as they prepared for their quiz.

English Class
In the beginning of November, students received a new list of Vocabulary words, definitions, and example sentences. They also wrote out their 5-paragraph Cause & Effect expository essays. Finally, students chose one of their favorite Vocab. words so far to illustrate.

Computer Class
The 7th and 8th grade classes have been learning how to use Microsoft Excel this month. We have timed our own heart beats and created a spreadsheet and graph of our class’ number of heart beats in a minute both before and after exercising. The students have also made a spreadsheet that finds the class’ average number of blinks in a minute! We are currently working on learning how to create word searches and crossword puzzles using the Excel program.

Music Class
Students will be sharing their class song with the community for our Christmas program. Students have also been working on a Christmas song project in class. They worked with others from their class to prepare a favorite Christmas song. They are excited about this project and I have heard some great voices that I would have never discovered had we not done this assignment.

Christmas Program
Students have been working hard all month long in preparation for their upcoming Christmas program on December 17. The sixth grade will be sharing Go Tell It on the Mountain. While this is a traditional song sung at this time of year, they were able to learn a new arrangement and have been doing a great job. The seventh grade has had quite the challenge as they will be singing a Hebrew song, Hine Ma Tov. As much as they complain about learning a different language, I hear them in the hallways singing the song, it brings me much laughter. Finally, the eighth grade will be singing African Celebration. This is also sung in a different language but they have had no problem learning this song. I’m looking forward to a great Christmas program which illustrates how we are to go into all the world and preach the good news of Jesus Christ.

This year’s Spirit Week has been the best so far! Our Middle School and High School students showed tremendous school spirit by participating in this event. Monday was “Flashback Day”. Students were able to dress up in clothing from a different era. We had students represent the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, and earlier periods. This was absolutely the best way to kick off a fun-filled week. Tuesday we had “Multiplicity Day.” Students were able to dress alike as twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc. We even had a pair of students dressed as the Super Mario Brothers! On Wednesday we had “Wacky Hair, Feet and Wear Day”. Students dressed up in the most wackiest outfits they could find! Some walked in with colored wigs, others in oversized glasses, mismatched clothing, etc. Thursday was our “Pep Rally Day” a day we supported our athletic teams by representing our school colors. Friday we wrapped up the week’s festivities with a “Formal Day” in which students dressed to nines in suits, tuxedos, prom dresses. One of our students even wore a wedding dress! Our students showed tremendous school spirit and we look forward to making more great memories at Evangel Christian School in this upcoming school year.

Faces Painted, School Colors, Pom Poms, Screaming, Yelling, Balloons, Contests, and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much Fun – this describes our Pep Rally on Thursday, November 19th. Our athletes were greeted by loud cheers as they crashed through homemade signs. Students were so excited and full of School Spirit as they adorned blue and silver garland and had Mrs. Kemp and Mrs. Arnau paint beautiful eagles on their faces. Our athletes were spurred on to “be the best that they can be” this year. A great big “thank you” to Mr. Wong, our Athletic Director, for making this year’s Pep Rally such a huge success.

November is a wonderful month. Students are now finding out what is really hard for them and what is easy. Many are studying and using time more effectively. Those who have been bringing in copies of their classes from Edline are some of the students who have progressed the most. However some students are finding out the consequences of poor study habits verses good study habits. This month I will focus on test corrections, remediation and encouraging them to”… press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
