The 2nd grade students have spent the last two weeks participating in March Book Madness! 8 books were selected from the top checked out picture books from the East Elementary Library. The students then read each of those books and voted on what book should move on to be this year's favorite book. Students also got to travel to the High School and participate in some basketball activities with some of the High School Basketball players! March Book Madness was a big hit and the winning book was, Dog vs. Cat! #LeadOn #Orabs #sheldonorabs #marchmadness #marchbookmadness #elementary #reading #basketball

Kindergarten students have been practicing reading, writing, and completing their CVC words. This student is using Seesaw to practice building CVC words on her own. Seesaw is used in many of our classrooms to help individualize our student's learning, as well as provide quick feedback for our students, parents, and teachers. Seesaw also allows for our student's parents to see what their child is doing in the classroom through the activities that they do on Seesaw. #LeadOn #Learning #seesaw #lessons #sheldonorabs #cvcwords #reading #engagedlearning

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
