Sheldon kindergarteners learned about pushing and pulling. During this activity they dropped a ball on a string with different amounts of force to see how many plastic bottles it would knock over!

Happy Easter from the Sheldon Community School District! Reminder, there is no school on Monday. See everyone on Tuesday!
Sheldon Community School District's last day of school will be Friday, May 23.
East Elementary 3rd graders in 3B, engaged in a cross curricular activity of Adopt a Puppy, when not working on ISASP (state) testing. Each student picked, named, and owned a stuffed pup.
The week-long theme had many different activities, from writing a news article, reading about their dog breed, math activities of buying supplies and making a schedule for the puppy. In addition, the students created a bed or bedroom for each little furry friend. The week culminated with the students bringing their pup home to keep as their very own!
Preschoolers had a great time doing Easter activities this week!
Kindergarten registration is open!
If you have a student who will be five on or before September 15, 2025, you may register them at East Elementary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact East Elementary.
Second graders had a fun “peep day” this week! They conducted an experiment with peeps in water, soda, and vinegar. They created their own peeps and gave them names and birthdays. They watched how peeps are made and read a story with some fun facts about them. Last, they had to think critically as they solved peep problems!

Sheldon Middle School 6th grade students helped create three life-sized Periodic of Table of Elements. Each student researched an element from the table. They reported on its atomic number, symbol, what it is used for, melting point, who discovered it and how it earned its name.
Nineteen students also memorized all 118 element symbols. They celebrated with a "Cyclone Party." A special thanks to Dairy Dandy for helping us out with this reward!
