This year in 10th and 11th grade Bible, we were able to truly dig into the word of God. Most importantly we learned that God’s word is alive and He is still speaking to us and has a purpose for our lives.

This year the students were involved in a variety of activities involving hearing, speaking, reading and writing. We reviewed the basics of the regular Present tense and stem changing verbs, Past tense, and later in the year they were introduced to Imperfect tense. Vocabulary in context with progressively more difficult reading passages were also studied. Cultural studies involving film and information about Latin America and Spain were part of the course.

In the Resource Room students get extra academic support. IEP students get individualized and small group engagement to address educational challenges. This year in Resource Room we saw students in each grade improve in their subject classes. There were many success stories and students showed confidence in their academic abilities.

These are the first three years of advanced class to the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. Students continued to learn the conversational and vocabulary concepts of Spanish, with the goal of refining and advancing proficiency by the end of the year.
These Spanish classes focused on the following four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Class time was used to engage skills such as situation dialogues; mini-skits; group work; conversations with classmates and teacher
Students learned that in order to achieve success in this course, it is essential to be prepared for each class. Language learning is a discipline that requires steady, cumulative preparation; a discipline in which each point builds upon its predecessor, such that if you do not master a given grammatical concept or vocabulary cluster, this will prevent assimilation of the following lesson. It was amazing to see the students take on the challenge and put forth so much effort.

Our students were involved with applying mathematics skills in everyday life. They were introduced to being better stewards with their finances. They were able to find percentage rates of gross and net pay per check.
Mrs. Christian
Geometry is a topic that involves a hands-on experience with how algebraic concepts relate to geometric figures on a two-dimensional surface. It was exciting to work through the different algebraic problems that were suddenly given purpose with the application in finding particular measurements of geometric figures. The class came to a climax when students who at first struggled with proofs, started seeing the patterns that allowed the mathematics to finally make sense to them, and proofs come more easily.
Miss Wessel
One of our writing activities asked graduating seniors to share something helpful for new students entering Evangel. This was what Siting Li from China thought students should know.

The students also wrote poems for national “Poem in Your Pocket Day.” For many, their work included family, their experiences at Evangel and plans for the future. They read the poems “If” by Rudyard Kipling and “ Hold Fast the Dream” by Langston Hughes.
My Family by Xinyao Liu 10th grade
We talk
We laugh
We cry
But we are family
And we do it all together
For as a family
We do it all as one
You hurt one
You hurt all
And as a family unity
We will all stand tall
For we are family
A family full of strength
A family full of love
Mom by Angelina Tang 11th Grade
Mom, my beautiful Mom
Mom, my great Mom
Mom, my virtuous Mom
I Love you Mom
Mom is like sunshine coming into my heart
Mom is like a light making my road right
Mom is like a book teaching me to be a good girl
I Love you Mom
You are Special!
High School Intermediate Literature allows students to challenge and stretch their personal and global critical thinking. Within the classroom students explore a variety of genres, working through units on research, American folklore, and literature studies. This year students were able to successfully accomplish extensive and multi-layered research components, which included conversing with native English speakers during Academic Fair night. As well, high school students enhanced their formal writing by compiling character analysis essays after reading American classic novels. It has been clear that the international students at Evangel Christian School strive to reach for greater levels of academic success.
