Sheldon High School

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. #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #writing #highschoolwriting

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! #Sheldon #Chemistry #orabs #sheldonorabs #leadOn #highschool

Quickwrites are done twice a week in English 10 at the High School. Students write about different topics during this time in a variety of different writing styles throughout the year. The length of each Quickwrite gets longer throughout the year to increase their writing stamina. They also have specific revision time to work on continually making their writing better! #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #writing #improvement #englishclass

Lunch is a fun time at school, but recently it was a lot more entertaining when some of the students took on some of the High School teachers in a friendly game of dodgeball over lunch. #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon #highschool

Today is National Read Aloud Day! The High School Library Club visited East Elementary to celebrate and read aloud to each classroom. Tonight would be a great night to sit with your child and read aloud to them. Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud introduces vocabulary, shows students how to read fluently, allows students to hear expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about! #nationalreadaloudday #orabs #sheldon #orabs #sheldonorabs #reading #readaloud #books

Across all of our buildings and classrooms chances are that if you walk into a classroom, you will see a "Bell Ringer" posted or being discussed at the beginning of class. Bell Ringers are used to engage students in short assignments or assessments, review key concepts that have already been taught, stimulate classroom discussion or used to find misconceptions and misunderstandings students may have before the new lesson starts. Whether its a number sorting activity in Kindergarten, identifying which words are verbs in 5th grade, asking your partner to make a list of pros and cons to a new school rule in 8th grade or completing a sample math problem at the high school our teachers do a great job of starting class off with Bell Ringers to get our students focused on the learning target for the day. #LeadOn #Orabs #Sheldon

Students in Mr. Anderson's Chemistry Class performed a double replacement reaction lab between sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid. They calculated the theoretical yield of the product sodium acetate by solving a stoichiometric calculation from the balanced chemical equation of the reaction. Once the reaction was completed, the actual yield of sodium acetate was measured and students solved for the % yield of their reaction. #LeadOn #Chemistry #Sheldonorabs #Orabs #sciencelabs
