8th grade is beginning a new unit, which means new vocabulary words.
To learn the new words and definitions, the students made notecards, practiced independently, and then challenged friends to a matching game.
As a final challenge, they played a friendly game of "Vocabulary Spoons".

Thank you to our High School Speech Students for coming to perform at the Middle School during their school assembly.
This was a great way for our Middle School students to see and learn more about what extra-curricular opportunities they will have when they get to the High School.

The 6th grade students just finished their unit on "Overcoming Obstacles" and have started their "Number the Stars" unit. To tie the two themes together, the students are creating podcasts that will share information about people from WWII who overcame obstacles to help in the Resistance.
Our students are off to a great start and we can't wait to listen to this project once they are done!

6th graders wore a fraction, decimal, or percent around the Middle School for the last few days. As teachers or other students came up to them, they were asked what their equivalent decimal, percent, or fractions were.
This was a great way to help our students memorize some commonly used fractions, decimals and percentages.

8th graders at the Sheldon Middle School complete a History Day Project each year. Students research a topic in History and create a project to share their information. The 8th graders then present their projects to the public on History Day Night and are judged on their project information, display, and presentation skills.
Before their presentation night, the students were able to practice sharing their projects with some of the younger students in the Middle School. This was a great way for the students to practice presenting their project, as well as show the younger students an exciting project that they get to do when they get to 8th grade.
