Last Friday the 5th graders were able to spend the day at Arnolds Park with other 5th graders from the area as a celebration for completing the D.A.R.E Program. D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches 5th graders how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. #LeadOn #orabs #DARE #Sheldonorabs #sheldonmiddleschool #arnoldspark

7th and 8th grade teachers caught an Orab in action today at the Omaha Zoo during the 7th and 8th grade field trip. Ben Meendering (class of 2011) works at the zoo in the giraffe area and took some time from his day to show the teachers a little more about what his day looks like. Thanks Ben! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #orabsinaction #omahazoo #zoo

5th graders have the option to "Level Up" their skills throughout the year after they finish the required work for the day. If a student gets done with their required tasks they have some different enrichment problems that they can work through to earn points to level up. This is a great way for our students to keep pushing themselves to work towards higher goals as well as improve their critical thinking skills. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #math #criticalthinking #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #levelup

6th graders just completed learning about potential and kinetic energy. To test their understanding students completed the Roller Coaster Challenge. Students had to design a rollercoaster that had drop offs, loops, curves, and hills, but also was "safe" for the marble to travel on. Students then tested the different rollercoasters by dropping a marble down the coaster. They had to record the mass of the marble, the distance the marble traveled, the acceleration, and then finally calculate the potential energy. Our students did such a great job with the construction and calculations for this project! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #science #STEM

8th Graders at Sheldon Middle School just completed their Mythology Unit in English. As a final project, students are creating Mythology Commercials that they have to write, record, and then edit to be watched by their classmates! The students are having a great time bringing these mythological characters to life in their commercials. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #mythology #creativeprojects #middleschool #englishclass
