Sheldon Community School District

The 7th graders in Mrs. Woelber's TA spent some of their TA time talking about Habit 5: Think Win-Win. After the discussion students decided to color and write notes for residents of our local assisted living and senior living centers! The students hope to “fill their buckets” when the residents get their pictures and notes! #leadon #orabs

Our Kindergarteners did a Spooky Math Activity where they had to count spiders in tens frames that were hidden around the room. Students loved getting to hurry around the room looking for the spiders! #math #leadon #orabs

Thanks to POET Bioprocessing in Ashton for the tour of their plant this morning. Our high school chemistry students were able to travel to POET and see the behind scenes of what happens at POET daily to produce around 56 million gallons of ethanol annually. Students were also able to learn more about the careers available in this industry. Thank you POET for opening up your plant to our student's learning today. #leadon #orabs #poet

Our Middle School P.E classes have gotten to enjoy being outside the past few weeks with the different P.E units they are covering. The 7th and 8th Grade P.E classes finished up their Disc Golf Unit with a trip to Hills Park to play Disc Golf!

The Sheldon FCA group is hosting Fields of Faith tonight on the football field starting at 7:00 pm. This event is open to all students in middle and high school.

6th graders are continuing to learn more about the different systems of the body. Right now they are learning about the circulatory system, including blood, blood vessels and the heart. After learning what makes up blood (plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) the students made a model using corn syrup, red hots, mini marshmallows and cookie sprinkles to represent what is all in their blood. The students then had to draw their models, labeled all the parts and described the function of each part. Next up they are going to be learning how the blood moves through the chambers of the heart and to the lungs. Way to go 6th Grade! #leadon #science #orabs

The High School's Life Skills Class came over to East Elementary to do a peer activity group. Students spent some time together frosting and decorating cookies. Seeing our older students form relationships and do activities with our younger students is so great. We have some great student leaders in our district. #leadon #orabs

The district computer science team participated in their first workshop with NewBoCo last week. They dove into the Computer Science standards and worked on how teachers can implement these things into their everyday context areas. Teachers had fun learning and trying out these devices. We are excited to see how these things will be used in our classrooms. #leadon #orabs #technology

Our Preschoolers at The Little Orab Learning Center got to visit the Fire Station this week. Students were able to see the fire trucks, spray the fire hose, learn about fire safety and see Fire Pup! Thank you to the Sheldon Fire Station for letting our students come and visit! #leadon #orabs

Our Kindergarten classes at East Elementary got to go visit the Fire Station for Fire Safety Week. Students learned about what to do if there was a fire, how to get help, see the fire trucks and firefighters and they even got to use the fire hose and spray out a pretend fire. Our students had a great time learning and seeing all of the things at the station. Thanks to the Sheldon Fire Department for letting our students come visit the station! #leadon #orabs

Mrs. Vogel’s class visited Old Jerry McVreeman’s farm last week. They got to feed the animals, rode on tractors and had a snack in the grain bin! It was a great day for the kids to experience and learn a little but more about farm life. #leadon #orabs

The second graders are finishing a unit on different roles they can have in their homes, at school, in their community, and in the future. As a culminating activity they spent some time cleaning up the grounds around East Elementary as a form of community service. Way to go 2nd Grade!! #leadon #orabs #sheldonorabs #2ndgrade

Our Intro to Industrial Tech class was able to visit Rosenboom in town to learn more about what they do at Rosenboom on a day to day basis as well as learn more about the different careers that are available at Rosenboom. Thank you to Rosenboom for offering this opportunity for our students!

Your supper plans before the game Friday just got easier! Join us this Friday for the Project Prom tailgate supper from 5:30-7:00 pm at the football field. All proceeds go towards Prom 2023. #leadon #orabs #prom

This week at Sheldon Community School District #leadon #orabs #sheldon

1st Grade Students had a reward day on Friday for their great FAST Reading scores this fall! As students arrived to their classrooms, they received their ride bracelet and a set of Mickey or Minnie mouse ears. Students spent their day full of Disney themed learning activities. Students went on a virtual tour of all the Disney world parks, played Disney Trivia, sorted Disney nouns, helped Buzz Lightyear shoot down alien attackers in a math subtraction game, practiced spelling with Lightning McQueen's letter lot, and students helped the 101 Dalamations escape Cruella in a heart word reading dash. Such a fun reward day in 1st grade for their hard work and focus on their tests! #leadon #orabs #1stgrade

The 8th graders have been focusing on proportions in math class. They did an application activity where they tagged "fish" in an effort to find the number of fish in their “Lake”. Students were able to better see and understand proportions through this activity. #leadon #orabs #math

Kindergarten students have been working hard to learn and understand their numbers. Students have practiced writing, counting, using numbers to represent the days of the month and how many days of school we have had. The students are also starting to get the basic understating of adding to and taking away from numbers 1-10. Great work Kindergarten! #leadon #orabs #kindergarten
