A dip what?
Our Spelling lessons are fun and we are now writing in script. In Phonics we are going over Diphthongs, which are two letters that come together and make an unexpected sound.

Lets divide
In Math we are starting to do division. Its great fun to see how adding plays a role even in doing division. Fractions are also some things we are talking about.

Fun in Science
We are doing the most exiting things in Science. We are learning about the Skeleton and we even have a model in our classroom. The students call him Mr.. Bones.

Over 1,000 people cam to Evangel on Thursday, March18 to experience our Annual Academic Fair. Students in PK through 12th grade, worked for 2 and one half months to create a Research Paper, Project and Project Board for our fair. Students picked a topic of their choice from a variety of subjects such as: Science, English, Bible, Home Economics, Fashion, Art, Design, Technology, Math, Music, History, etc…
As you entered the school you experienced the sound of music, the smell of delicious foreign foods cooking, students super excited to share about their projects, dancing, acting, singing and so much more. Although the Academic Fair was a lot of work, it was well worth it.
We thank all the parents, students and staff for their hard work to make this year’s Academic Fair a HUGE success. We look forward to next year and if you didn’t make it this year we look forward to seeing you then.
Please check out our PHOTOBLOG and GALLERIES for some fantastic pics.
Whats going on
During our Math class we have been working on Word Problems. In Science we learned all about frogs and tad polls. For Phonics we have been learning about vowels diagraphs and consonant diagraphs. For Socials Studies we have been talking about the States and the capitals. We are always busy in Third Grade.

Who has Integrity
We have been learning about Joseph in our Bible time. Even though he was a young boy he still had Integrilty.

When is enough enough
To better understand the law of diminishing marginal utility, we did a candy simulation. Four students were asked to come to the front of the classroom and eat multiple rounds of tootsie rolls. After each round, the class recorded in a table the level of pleasure (or marginal utility) each person had. In general, the law of diminishing marginal utility held true–after 5 rounds most students received less satisfaction from the candy than they had after the first piece.
This week the class discussed controversial topics like healthcare reform, minimum wage, and rent control and applied their knowledge of supply and demand and free market principles to these discussions.

Debate Time
To supplement our study of the Spanish-American War, students had an in-class, parliamentary style debate (complete with fist pounding and shouts of here, here! or for shame) about imperialism. What are the pros and cons of territorial expansion? students asked.
We also studied World War I and watched several scenes from the 1929 Academy Award winner, All Quiet on the Western Front. We had a discussion about the pacifist elements of the film (which contributed to the fact that it was banned during World War II)
Now, we head into the Roaring Twenties. Part of our last class was spent talking about flappers and listening to jazz music.

Spring is Coming
We had a great time decorating our kites and shared all about how we know it is Spring.
Rain, Rain -go away – we want to fly our kites!

Look who is back!
The Gingerbread Man has returned from his travels and he brought us goodies! He brought us Easter eggs to color and hide! The Gingerbread Man still looks yummy, but we won’t eat him! We promise!
