November is fast upon us with many changes in the forecast. Students are now finding out what is really hard for them and what is easy. Those who have been bringing in copies of their classes from Edline already knew and have been working on improving weak areas. Students are also 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

In Global class we just finished discussing the Middle Ages. As a culmination activity, the class will be traveling to the Cloisters in the Bronx. The Cloisters is a museum, which focuses on Medieval Art and history. This will give the students a chance to apply some of the information we went over in class. In addition, the students will be able to get a more in depth view of what life was like for people during this time period and how this was evident in their artwork. After this we will begin our unit on the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution.

This week the tenth graders have been studying the relationship between parallel lines and angles. They are using those concepts to study the art and architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. This week they will be designing their own stained glass windows based on the geometric patterns they have learned in class.

Things are shaping up in Geometry. We have been working on angles, lines – parallel and perpendicular. Next we will tackle congruent triangles.
Mrs. Christian
In our tenth grade class we are learning how to buy things from clothes to school supplies at a store. We are also learning the different verbs to use in each case.
Evangel’s tenth grade class began the year by introducing themselves; however, instead of creating a Bio-Poem, they created “I Am” poems. They are posted in the class and are eager to be read, so do please stop by and learn a little bit more about our sophomores. They have just completed a wonderful short story unit where they were introduced to the “Horrible Miss Dove.” They continue to look at character as they delve into a mini-unit within their Daybooks. Soon, they will be starting Oliver Twist and entering into Dickens’ amazing world of satire.
In Earth Science the past couple of weeks we have been studying rocks. Most students would agree that rocks are boring and useless; however I have been so impressed with my 10th graders this week as they have shown me how they’ve grown into quite the rock experts. As I played a review game with the students for their test over rocks, I gave the students names of different types of rocks and they had to classify the rock into one of the three major rock categories. All the students surprised me with how well they were able to classify most rocks. Their hard work and studying really paid off!

Greetings from teh Middle School and High School Resource Room! The year has started out with a great sense of expectation. Because of last year’s success many students are looking forward to a better year. Students are beginning the year with great attitudes and a healthy desire to work hard in order to achieve higher goals. We are setting the groundwork for success first through prayer and second by covering the “10 easy steps” taught in the booklet “How to get Good Grades” by Linda O’Brien.
My name is Mr. Fowler and I will be teaching the Global I, Global II, and Economics classes this year. In 10th grade the students will be finishing their two-year global course and learn about the modern world. Most recently, the class discussed the Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman societies. The students were excited about both of these civilizations as they had watched movies about both, which gave us a chance to discuss fact from fiction.
The students in 10th grade Geometry are a very hard working. They spent the first few weeks learning the basics of Geometry; from labeling points, lines, and planes to determining angle pair relationships.
