Sheldon Community School District

4th graders put their minds to work to create their own Rube Goldberg Machine to accomplish a goal set by the group. Groups had to create blueprints for their machine in hopes of accomplishing their goal. Some groups had a goal to pop a balloon while others wanted to get a ball in a cup. Students had a requirement to have 4 energy transfers in their machine. The end goal was for the students to experience energy and energy transferring from one object to another. Such a great way to practice their learning, problem solving, teamwork, and building skills. #LeadOn #Orabs #STEM #scienceintheclassroom #learning #building #4thgrade #sheldonorabs

6th graders created taco trucks to review decimal operations. Students had to design a menu with good prices, and manipulate those prices using decimal knowledge. To add to the fun, they got to create a truck with fun slogan and design! Great work 6th grade! #LeadOn #Orabs #math #6thgrademath #sheldonorabs #learning #math #foodtruck

Kindergarten students are practicing their predicting skills with some different science experiments. Students made predictions on what they thought would happen if they mix oil, water and food coloring together and then added an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Students were amazed at what happened and they saw that all of those things combined created what looked like a lava lamp! It is great getting to see our students brains work and their reactions during science experiments. #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #science

Sheldon Middle School's 8th grade newcomers class had a guest speaker come to talk about life after secondary education, the importance of learning English, as well as shared her experience as a newcomer herself. Glenda Barrios is the Bilingual Career Path Navigator and Academic Specialist out at NCC. Glenda shared her personal story and experiences being a student, coming to a new country, learning English and how her schooling experience went. She also shared a presentation that talked about building relationships, finding courage and confidence in your learning, thinking of your future, and what can they do now to prepare for their future. Thank you Glenda Barrios for coming to talk with our students! #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #english #spanish #learning #middleschool

Contemporary Writing students have been working on writing formal business letters and emails. Mrs. Wolf gives the students a real life scenario and they need to write a letter or email that responds to the scenario.

Kindergartners were able to see what happens when you combine different liquids together during a science experiment. Mrs. Bunkers had a dish of whole milk and food coloring set out for the students to see. Students took guesses on what would happen if they added another liquid to the mixture. The students then added Dawn dish soap to the dish to see what would happen. The students were able to see that the dish soap repels the food coloring and turns it into a beautiful design! #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #learning #kindergarten #sheldonorabs

In the event of the Dance Team Kids Clinic not being able to be held on Wednesday, Feb. 22nd, we will postpone the Clinic to Friday, Feb. 24th after school in the East Gym from 3:30-5:30. The Dance Team Night performance itself would then be pushed back to start at 6:30 in the High School Gym.
