NFL Running Back Blesses Evangel
Former Running Back, Lee Rouson, a two time Super Bowl Winner with the New York Giants was a guest speaker at our Middle School and High School Chapels. Lee shared his journey of faith and overcoming hardships. THrough it all, Lee remained faithful to the call of God in His life. Our students were inspired by his story of Hope and Triumph in Christ. Lee also emphasized that eventhough he has been tremendously successful, he identifies himself as a child of God and gives all the glory to Him. Mr. Rouson has been anexample to our children that “With God all things are possible.” We are so thankful to him for taking time out of his busy schedule to come and speak with our students.

Fun Projects
Students will be constructing a variety of art projects for math. For the acuminating project, students will choose a personal favorite topic. They will construct a song, poem, or rap. The lyrics will be placed on small poster boards for display. They will also have an option to create a math game as an end of the year project.

The Holocaust
Part of our curriculum is learning about the Nazi’s and what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust.In learning about the Holocaust, we watched a documentary on a survivor of the Holocaust. This was a real eye opener for my students. It caused them to experience true empathy for the Jewish nation and realize how blessed we are to live in America!
Office Masters
We are working on two basic projects right now. We have begun working through the Learning Office 2007 textbook, which is a very well designed book that will teach our kids how to skillfully use office software and prepare them for the future. We are also working on improving our keyboarding skills, which is going quite well. Some students have improved their typing rate by as many as 25 points in just the last three weeks!

Plate Tectonics
In our 10th grade Earth Science lab classes, the students have been focusing on the effects on our land from day to day, over the centuries, and predicting what is scheduled to take place in the future. We have observed the difference in time that it takes for dry sand to heat up, water, and damp sand. From this experiment, students have predicted areas in the United States that would have a larger temperature range through the course of a day. We have also observed the plates and countries of the world, realizing how they fit like a puzzle and have moved a part over time. Understanding how mountains were formed and how earthquakes were produced, became clearer through this study of Plate Tectonics. Another lab consisted of mapping volcanoes and where they are most likely to happen. More than half of the world’s active volcanoes occur in the Ring of Fire, encircling the Pacific Ocean.

Properties of Transformations
The 10th grade Geometry class is working on a unit study called the Properties of Transformations. The students will create diagrams that will display knowledge and use of translation, reflection, rotation, and symmetry in real life situations. Some examples of real life application is in navigation, and hang gliding. Students will observe various pictures and art works to identify patterns of translation, rotation, reflection and symmetry.

Fun with Probability
Our Integrated Algebra class is experimenting with probability. We flipped coins and pulled marbles out of bags. We have learned how to use our Ti83+ calculator to compute complex probability problems.

Lets Measure
Students have been investigating quadrilaterals this month. They have cut, folded, measured and constructed. They were able to discover many of the properties we studied on their own.
