Sheldon High School

Our High School Life Skills 2 class has been diving into how to form friendships and communication to help form new friendships. The class did a joint lesson with Village Northwest Unlimited in town. They spent the class period painting pumpkins with residents of VNU. Our students and the residents of VNU were able to practice communication skills that can help form friendships with new people! This was as much fun as it was a good learning experience for everyone involved! #leadon #orabs

Our Junior class was able to go to Northwest Iowa Community College today for Career Day. Career Day is a time for students to learn more about careers that they are interested in pursuing after high school. Some career areas that students got to learn more about included nursing, engineering, auto mechanic, architecture, radiology, accounting and more. Students were able to learn about 3 different careers that were of interest to them throughout the morning. Students then attended the college fair, where area colleges had more information about what programs they offer, as well as a time for students to as specific questions. Thanks to Northwest Iowa Community College for offering this opportunity for our area students. #leadon #orabs #careerday

Our students participate in many hands on learning activities and labs in their science classrooms. Mr. Anderson's Chemistry class made ionic compounds from the combustion reaction of magnesium. Students had to put the products through multiple tests to see if they had similar properties to ionic compounds. They also tested the melting point and conductivity of the product. Students were able to compare and contrast different products and their relations to ionic compounds as a result of this lab. #leadon #science #orabs

Preschool Picture Day and Picture Retake Day will be on Friday, September 23rd.

Our High School Biology students spent today doing a macromolecules lab with real world application. The students had to analyze "stomach contents" to see what was in the last meal that the "person" had before they passed away. **stomach contents were simulated to make this lab possible** #LEADON #Orabs

At the High School our commons are used many times throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and study halls, but during class hours you can spot teachers using the commons for extra classroom space to spread out and work with their students. Mr. Letsche's Foundations of Geometry class spent the class period working on their assignment on angle relationships in the commons. #leadon

This week at Sheldon Community School District **Picture Retakes/Preschool Pictures are on Friday!

"Team Up With a Good Book" was the theme today at East Elementary. Students participated in reading activities in their classroom throughout the day. Each classroom also had a high school reader come read a story to them. The afternoon was spent out at the high school football field where students participated in different activities and watched a video on the new scoreboard where the high school students explained to them why reading is important! Overall, "Team Up With A Good Book" was a great day! #LEADON #ORABS #reading
