The Sheldon High School students have had some great real world experience over the last few weeks by participating in "Mock Interviews" with local businesses in our Financial Literacy class.
Financial Literacy is a graduation requirement for all Sheldon High School students. During this course students learn money management and career readiness skills. Topics include taxes, checking, saving, investing, paying for college, types of credit, managing credit, insurance, budgeting, and careers.
Each student in the course is required to do two job shadows and a mock interview. The mock interview gives each student an authentic learning experience of presenting themself to a potential employer as the best candidate for their business.
Community members are invited in to assist with mock interviews. Their constructive criticism helps our students be successful in future interviews.
This semester we want to send a thankyou to Rosenboom, NCC, Citizens State Bank, and Sheldon Economic Development for stepping in as our interviewers for our students.

Monday night, the 7th-12 grade band and choir students performed their Winter Concert in the High School Auditorium. The holiday themed music was a great way to get into the holiday spirit for the last week of school before Christmas break.

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.
