The snow and cold might be sticking around, but it has given our students a lot of fun at recess. The 4th graders worked together to build a snowman during their recess time! Will this snowman last all winter, or will he melt before Christmas Break? #snowfun #LeadOn #winterfun #Sheldon #Orabs #4thgrade

Last night our 1st and 3rd Graders had their Winter Concert. So many great voices and songs were heard last night! We have a talented group of performers. Thanks to Mrs. Davis for getting these students ready for their performance and her dedication to making our music program great for our students. **2nd and 4th grade will be having their Winter Concert on December 15th** #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #Musi

Preschool students did a Star Search during their Space Study. Students had to walk around the preschool building and find stars with letters on them. They then colored that letter on their paper. Students love doing interactive activities where they are both playing and learning at the same time! #Orabs #Learning #LeadOn #preschool #SheldonOrabs

Kindergarten spent time with some Gingerbread focused activities last week. In Math, students focused on counting and identifying buttons on their gingerbread man, as well as did a graphing activity on the different colors of buttons the gingerbread men had. In writing, students wrote about what they would name their gingerbread man, where he/she would live and who he/she would be running from. At the end of the week students got to go on a scavenger hunt to look for the gingerbread man around East Elementary. Once they found them, they got to frost and decorate them for their snack that day! Such a fun week in Kindergarten. #Kindergarten #LeadOn #Orabs #holidayactivities #schoolactivities

2nd Grade had some fun in the snow this week sledding at recess. Sledding at recess is one of the student's favorite things to do once there is snow on the ground! #snowday #LeadOn #recessfun #snow #orabs #Sheldon

Our TK students stay busy and engaged in many different learning activities throughout the day. Students have been learning more about sea life this week in class.

Some centers included a water table with different sea animals in it, sea animal matching game, fishing for numbered fish and more! #Learning #LeadOn #Orab #Sheldon #activities

Before long they will be adding and subtracting basic facts!

Our 1st and 3rd graders are thankful for their reading buddies! Each week the 1st and 3rd graders get together to do a different reading activity. This week they did a fun turkey activity with with their reading buddies after reading a book about turkeys! #LeadOn #Orabs #thanksgiving

In P.E our Kindergarteners have been learning and practicing their dribbling, passing and shooting skills in their basketball unit. Mr. Fischer has been working on the fundamentals of basketball in P.E over the past few weeks with the Elementary students. It is amazing to see how far our students have come in their dribbling and shooting in just a few short P.E classes! #GoOrabs #LeadOn #Sheldon #PE #Basketball

Did you know that East Elementary is a 1-1 School? This means that each of our elementary students, K-4 has their own device to use at school for different learning assignments, research and assessments. Some of the things our students do on their devices allow for teachers to see immediately how the students are performing, teachers can easily tailor work at different levels for specific students, students can each actively engage in the lessons and students are able to learn the valuable computer skills that many of them will need in their future careers. #LeadOn #Orabs #technology

Preschool students at the Little Orabs Learning Center are currently doing a pumpkin study. They made a pumpkin salt painting using glue, salt, and watercolor paints! The pumpkin was drawn on the page and students had to put the salt and glue on the lines and then paint the pumpkin. This was not only a good way to help our students see what happens when you mix the glue, salt and paint, but it was also great way for our students to practice their fine motor skills. Didn't they do a great job? #Orabs #LeadOn #Preschoolactivity
