Freshman students are making connections through hands on learning. English 9 students are participating in an hexagonal thinking activity after reading the short story, "The Lottery" by Shirly Jackson. Students had to arrange key concepts from the story on each tile and place related tiles next to each other, essentially building a web of connections that would then help them explain relationships in the story. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #thelottery #shortstories #english9

Sheldon High School students have had the opportunity to learn more about graphic design and social media sharing in their Mass Media class this week. Through this class, our students are able to learn the basics in social media marketing, professionalism, graphic design, reporting, photography, videography, and more. This week students learned more about the different graphic design tools we use and took part in a zoom training with the company that we run our website through. Be on the lookout for some of our student work as they learn to create, share, and promote Sheldon Community Schools in a positive and professional way. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #massmedia

First grade students received their whisper phones this week and they were so excited! Whisper phones can improve phonemic awareness, increase comprehension of what is being read, help students read at an appropriate voice volume, build confident readers, and make reading fun! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #reading #1stgrade
