Fun In Third Grade
In Social Studies we are talking about rivers, oceans and lakes and in Science we are learning about plant life. Reading is taking us to Antarctica to learn about Penguins.
There is something new every day in the third grade.

Math Time
We are doing measuring in math. Students had an opportunity to walk around the room and use a measuring tape. They measured the chairs, the boards, books, the sink, the rug, and each other. They used it on EVERYTHING even me.

Math
What’s in a Name? 5E gathered statistical data from the class to find out what name and the amount of letters was most popular in the class. We collected 24 names. Each day we picked three names and found the mean (Average) for the names. At the end of our survey, we figured that 13 letters seemed to be the class favorite.

Transpiration
Transpiration? What’s that? We found out that transpiration sounds like transportation and it’s how water gets from the roots of the plants to its leaves. WE performed an experiment in class with plants and the children named one of the plants Eva and the other plant was named Little Juicy. We had to be patient with this experiment, however it proved true that a plant can re-water its self from its roots.

PUSH
Pray Until Something Happens. – Well something is definitely happening in our class. Various prayers that we have prayed for have been answered. Prayers for healing, financial blessings, traveling mercies and many more have been answered. I want to especially thank the parents that joined in with me to pray for Mr. And Mrs. Aguilar. God answered our prayers and she is out of the hospital and on her way to a speedy recovery.

Student Government
What an exciting election we had for this year’s Student Government race!
The candidates were extremely creative and strategic in their campaigning techniques. Some students had clever posters, others provided voters with lollipops with campaign slogans and some just spoke to fellow students on a one to one basis asking for support.
On Election Day – Friday, October 23rd, candidates had the opportunity to give their speeches. Most made promises to make Evangel Christian School a better place for its students
After hearing all the speeches from candidates, students were able to vote, and after tallying all the ballots, the students of Evangel Christian School voted in Jonathan Bonifas as their President, Guillermo Rosario as the Vice President, Sean Villalba and Ryan Diaz as their Co-Treasurers and Ashley Perez as Secretary.
Next week the Student Government officers will go around classrooms to vote in two class representatives from each class.
We are looking forward to this government’s leadership and positive impact in our school!

Literacy Day/Crazy Hair and Hat Day
This year we decided to combine two events to create one incredible, exciting fun filled day for our Elementary School students on Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Our Fellowship Hall was transformed into a wacky hair salon called —– Hairy Situations. Teachers had to confirm their appointment with Tanya, one of the salon stylists, who was working the front desk. She welcomed in all our students who came in to salon. Many of the students and teachers walked in to the salon with crazy hair or hats. For those who didn’t have a hat, we provide hats for them.
We played music videos and sang along to some popular Veggie Tale tunes. After a fun time of singing, students were treated to books about hair or hats. After story time, the students watched some of our High School students act out a skit based on a Bible character named Samson. (Did you know the source of Samson’s strength was his hair!) During this fun time for students, teachers and aides were getting their hair done at the salon by a wacky hairstylist.
We wanted students to not only have fun, but to learn and get excited about reading!
Many students and teachers said this was the best Literacy Day ever!
Please check out our gallery on the school’s website to see some great pictures!
Girls Varsity Volleyball
I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down. –Mia Hamm
For some, volleyball is just something that is played to pass the time by, for others it’s just a sport, but for the Lady Eagles it’s a life style. From day one, we knew that in order to accomplish our goals we would have to work harder and push ourselves further than we had any other year. Each and every practice our girls strove to be better than the day before. Their determination to become better volleyball players not only affected the way they practiced and played, but challenged everyone to step up their game. As a result our girls have had one of the best seasons ever.

Paint Like Picasso
Students were shown a power point on Picasso and not only did we discuss the two main techniques he used but they also came to my third point on their own (all of Picasso’s portraits besides the one of himself were of women). Every portrait he painted was a picture of a women that was close to him
A close-up photo was taken of each student; I allowed them to decided how the photo was taken (side profile, front view, covering one eye, mouth open, etc.) I then printed out their pictures and they were asked to create their own self portrait in Tempera paint using Picasso’s techniques. They are currently working on this now. It is going to be veryinteresting to see their final products.
