Responsibility means doing what is right, keeping our promises, and acting appropriately. 1c has been discussing our responsibilities in our classroom, in our homes and in our communities. When we try to make the right choices and follow the rules we are trustworthy and dependable. Responsibility does not mean being perfect but it does mean doing our best!

This month KV has been very busy. KV was very excited to go on a trip to the big city, and visit PETCO. At Petco we had a tour of a large pet shop. Kindergarten was able to pet some of the animals, and even pick out their new class pet. KV picked out and purchased a Hermit Crab on our class trip. We are learning responsibility, and taking care of our new class pet, Racer. A special thanks to all the parent volunteers who came with us on our trip!

Almost every day, Pre-K 4 has three Hurray Kids. Each teacher chooses a paper with one child’s name, and that child is a Hurray Kid. The teachers watch, and write down all the good things the child does that day, and the child takes the paper home at the end of the day. They LOVE being Hurray Kids!

Bible times have been special. On May 15th we presented a chapel story about David and Goliath, and sang an original song to help us remember that God is bigger than our problems. We learned about Joshua and Caleb going into the Promised Land, and trusting that God would help His people, but the people believed the bad report from other men who were afraid, so His people were not able to enter the Promised land. Paul and Silas were in prison, but instead of complaining, they praised God, and were freed.

We worked on dinosaur projects. We have a dinosaur book, a story about our pet dinosaur, a dinosaur visor, and on Friday, May 29th had a dinosaur egg hunt in our classroom. On Monday, June 1st, we will work on a big project and have a dinosaur snack. Come back next month to learn more!

In Science we made pictures showing the four parts of a plant: roots, stem, leaves and flowers. We also learned that our hair and teeth have roots, too, so that they don’t fall out! We planted popcorn in a big flower pot. Now we are waiting to see if it grows. Do YOU think it will?

In PreK 4 we practiced drawing people. It is hard to remember to put on hair, legs, eyes, mouth and nose, but our people were beautiful!

We continue to write the lettr of the week as we approach the end of the school year. We also have written short, simple words to practice our writing skills. We finished the numbers 1-20. When we got to 19 we made beautiful ladybugs with 19 black dots on them. When we did number 20we had a hard job. We had to color 20 fingers on 4 hands! Whew! That was a lot of coloring!

Several middle school students and one elementary student had the privilege of participating in the Annual Association of Christian Schools International Art Fair in North Stonington, CT. The students were exited to get out of the city and to see for themselves what the competition is like.
Upon arrival to North Stonington Christian Church & Academy we attended a chapel service. This chapel service was where all the schools introduced themselves and guest speakers shared how God can use art and is the Master Artist. After chapel we headed to the wreck room where students were served lunch and had the opportunity to interact with kids from other schools. After lunch everyone headed to the school where all the artwork and ribbons were displayed. The artwork was judged before schools arrived and were rated Superior, Excellent or Good.
One piece of artwork (made this year) was submitted for each student and was compared with that of other students of the same grade level from other Christian schools. Evangel Christian School did an excellent job! Abrianna Ross (kindergarten) and Sopia Paskov (second grade) came in 1st in their age group, April Joanne Abortante (eighth grade), Angelie Cesario (seventh grade), Nicholas Reyes (fifth grade) and Christian Pascal (first grade) came in 2nd in their age group and last but not least Kreg Franco (seventh grade), Kristina Papacostas (seventh grade), Natale Barbosa (seventh grade), Astroy Semple (sixth grade), Amber Reyes (fourth grade) and Emmily Carrasquillo (eighth grade) came in 3rd in their age group.
Although we did a great job this year we plan to come back next year even stronger and ready to give all the other schools a run for their money!
