Exploring new realms of creativity in our Writers Makerspace during English 9 at the Sheldon High School. Students were able to create a character that would be featured in their creative short story. Having the ability to create before writing helped students form character ideas and plot lines in a hands on way before even sitting down to write. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #sheldonhighschool

Kindergarten is working hard on learning heart words at the end of the year! One fun game they played was Heart Word Name Hunt. Students are given a heart word to be their new name and they have to write all of their classmates new names. A fun way to practice heart words! Great work Kindergarten! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #sheldoneastelementary

More coding fun at Sheldon Middle School this week!

Great work Orabs! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #sheldonorabs #coding #learning #challenge #stem

6th graders in Mrs. Simonsen's class put their critical thinking skills to the test with Lego coding! Students utilized the Lego for Education Spike Essential Kits to build a carnival game of their choice and then program it using block coding to communicate with the motor, light, color sensor, or gyro sensor, bringing their project to life. Great job 6th graders! #LeadOn #Orabs #sheldonorabs #sheldoniowa #sheldon #ocding #sheldoncoding
