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?!

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.

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.

First and Third grade reading buddies took a pause from reading so first grade could cheer on their buddies as they finish ISASP testing! The buddies picked a positive message to color together and the third graders were able to keep their uplifting message close during 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.

The 6th graders did an amazing job with their Night of the Notables presentations!
6th graders researched a famous person from the past and presented the information to those that attended the Night of the Notables. People could stop by a notable person, played by the 6th grader, where they would then share information about their life.
Thanks to the 6th graders and teachers for putting on such a great event.

Sheldon High School students Rachel Beesaw, Emma Boone, Valerie Cook, Sadie Dietrick, and Olivia Prewitt attended the WISE Conference at Iowa State University last week.
Students attended four sessions throughout the day, heard two different ISU students share about their program and journey to where they are today. The students ended the day with a panel of ISU students, one of which was Sheldon's own, Lexie Merley! You might recognize Lexi Merley for her time on KTIV as an intern for the meteorology department.
Overall the girls had a great day learning more about women in science and the careers that are available. One highlight was that the Sheldon group won the STEM Trivia Kahoot game!
