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.

Kindergarten students are practicing their predicting skills with some different science experiments.
Students made predictions on what they thought would happen if they mix oil, water and food coloring together and then added an Alka-Seltzer tablet.
Students were amazed at what happened and they saw that all of those things combined created what looked like a lava lamp!
It is great getting to see our students brains work and their reactions during science experiments.

Reading a little each day helps you become a better reader. Our first graders have been working hard on becoming better readers each day as they read chapter books with friends.

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!

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!

Kindergarteners are learning how to read more and more each day. Part of learning how to read is to be able to identify and know their heart words. Heart words are words that students are unable to sound out and need to know by looking at them.
The students all were given a new heart word "name". The students then did a scavenger hunt and wrote down everyone's new heart word name. The kindergarteners had such a fun time practicing their heart words.

These two students at East Elementary worked together to make a continuous chain of sight word cards as they practiced each of their words. A fun and interactive way to practice their sight words!
