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!

Students learn how to write the number, count items to that number and then show what that number would look like in a tens frame.
Great work TK!

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. This is great real life practice for our students as they prepare to enter the workforce.

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!

5th graders have been learning about how to find the different parts of a story using the plot diagram.
A plot diagram is a line graph of the story's events, beginning with the story’s start on the left and continuing toward the right, ending with the story’s conclusion. Different parts of the plot diagram that the students are learning about include the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and conclusion.
Great work 5th Grade!

Kindergarteners took the lead today during the East Elementary school assembly and taught the rest of the school what it means to, "Sharpen the Saw."
Sharpen the Saw is the 7th habit from the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The Sheldon Community School District focuses on the habits from this book each year to help our students learn how to grow as leaders in their life, at school and in the future.
4th Grader Eli Becker was also recognized for his leadership in doing the school announcements every morning at East Elementary. A lot of our students know the voice, but they were able to see who Eli was today!
Great Job Kindergarten!!

3rd graders spent time playing multiplication games with friends during math time. These games were multiplication themed games that helped reinforce their memorization of the multiplication facts that they are learning!
The 3rd graders had a lot of fun practicing their multiplication facts!

In High School Chemistry, students observed what happens to the temperature of water during the phase changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas.
They collected temperature data every minute for about 20 minutes while heat energy was constantly being added to the system.
Students then graphed their data, identified the different variables of the experiment, and gave a reasoning to the results they obtained.
Great work Chemistry students!
