Thumbs up for FRIDAY! We hope everyone has a great weekend! #LeadOn #Orabs #sheldon #friday

1B students learned about fractions with chocolate chip cookies. Students kept one cookie whole, cut a cookie in half, and cut another cookie in fourths. Students were then given a fraction and had to hold up the cookie pieces that represented that fraction. Who knew math could be so delicious?! #LeadOn #math #cookiemath #fractions #sheldonorabs #sheldon #orabs

Mat Ball is a fan favorite for High School PE! Mat ball is similar to kickball, but instead of bases students have to jump onto large padded mats as they travel from base to base. #LeadOn #PE #sheldonorabs #orabs #fitness

Middle School students in computer science class are working on designing an app of their choice. Students had to come up with an app idea, reasons why the app would be useful, as well as what features the app would have. Students then will be sharing their app idea in a presentation for the rest of the class to learn more about it. #LeadOn #orabs #computerscience #apps #sheldonorabs #learning

First and Third grade reading buddies took a pause from reading so first grade could cheer on their buddies as they finish ISASP testing!

TK students at East Elementary have been talking about shadows as part of their weather unit. They read the book, Shadows by Sharon Coan and learned what makes a shadow. They also checked where their shadows were 4 times throughout the day and recorded where the sun was and what their shadow looked like. This week the students also headed outside to create shadow animals. TK has been loving the sunshine that creates shadows. #LeadOn #TK #orabs #sheldonorabs #weather #science #elementary #sheldoneastelementary

4th graders spend some of their morning enjoying their books and the beautiful weather outside! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldon #reading #outdoors #elementary
