Sheldon East Elementary won the supplies to participate in the winter STEM fest from the AEA. This week the kindergarten students made airplanes for Olive the Other Reindeer and saw who could fly her the farthest. Students also coded their names using binary codes and made them into candy cane bracelets.
Great work Kindergarten!

Kindergarten learned about Gingerbreads this week. They have read many different stories about Gingerbread Men, girls, and Ninjabreads too. They even went on a hunt for their cookies, as they were taken by the fox. They enjoyed decorating and then of course eating them.
