Sheldon Middle School's 8th grade newcomers class had a guest speaker come to talk about life after secondary education, the importance of learning English, as well as shared her experience as a newcomer herself.
Glenda Barrios is the Bilingual Career Path Navigator and Academic Specialist out at NCC. Glenda shared her personal story and experiences being a student, coming to a new country, learning English and how her schooling experience went.
She also shared a presentation that talked about building relationships, finding courage and confidence in your learning, thinking of your future, and what can they do now to prepare for their future.
Thank you Glenda Barrios for coming to talk with our students!

5th graders have been learning about how to find the different parts of a story using the plot diagram.
A plot diagram is a line graph of the story's events, beginning with the story’s start on the left and continuing toward the right, ending with the story’s conclusion. Different parts of the plot diagram that the students are learning about include the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and conclusion.
Great work 5th Grade!

The Middle School gym was full of laughter, learning, cheering and movement this morning for their school wide assembly!
Students participated in a relay race with five kids from their homeroom or TA to kick off the assembly. They had to suck air through the straw to hold the paper heart up, while they went across the gym and then drop it in the cup held by their TA advisor.
Teachers and students then switched roles in a skit to demonstrate how to follow directions. "Mrs. Lang" and "Mrs. Wolf" (two 8th grade students) helped lead the review with their class, played by the teachers.
To end the assembly the whole school body practiced following directions by dancing to the "Cupid Shuffle."

Not only did we celebrate Valentines Day today, but we celebrated the Middle School Staff for reaching a big goal they had!
The Sheldon Middle School has now been labeled as a high performing school based on the Iowa School Performance Profile, which includes ISASP student test scores and some other measures. The middle school staff has worked hard to help their students improve their academic skills so they could then perform well on their ISASP tests.
Today Mr. Meyer and Mrs. Zoet invited the staff into the library before school today to congratulate them on their hard work. The staff enjoyed some donuts, muffins, and breakfast pizza to start their day.
Thank you to all of our staff that works hard to help our students improve each day! We appreciate the work you do for our district!

We have very talented students in our buildings. These 6th graders did some outstanding figure drawings. The students could not use any tracing or grid work in their drawings. This is just an sample of some of the incredible drawings that our students have done.
If you are ever in the Middle School building, be sure to check out some of our student art work on display next to the art room.

Sheldon Middle School students are learning how to set personal goals and work towards reaching them. The 6th grade students set some personal reading goals for the months of December and January. The students worked towards their goal each day. As a reward, the students who reached their goals were able to enjoy a afternoon of Bingo with some great prizes.
Great work 6th grade!

The 8th Graders spent some time this week helping the 6th graders with the beginning stages of research for Night of the Notables.
Night of the Notables is an annual 6th grade event. The 6th grade students research notable people in history and write a paper. They then turn their paper into a speech. On April 11, they will present it to the community like a wax museum. Every time someone gives them a quarter they say share their information. This is also a fundraiser for their 6th grade field trip.

Middle School art students are working on their surrealist bedroom paintings. Surrealism art aims to revolutionize the human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of dreams. Our students have been doing such a great job with this project. We are excited to see their finished products!
