Quickwrites are done twice a week in English 10 at the High School. Students write about different topics during this time in a variety of different writing styles throughout the year.
The length of each Quickwrite gets longer throughout the year to increase their writing stamina. They also have specific revision time to work on continually making their writing better!

We have very talented students in our buildings. These 6th graders did some outstanding figure drawings. The students could not use any tracing or grid work in their drawings. This is just an sample of some of the incredible drawings that our students have done.
If you are ever in the Middle School building, be sure to check out some of our student art work on display next to the art room.

Kindergarteners are learning how to read more and more each day. Part of learning how to read is to be able to identify and know their heart words. Heart words are words that students are unable to sound out and need to know by looking at them.
The students all were given a new heart word "name". The students then did a scavenger hunt and wrote down everyone's new heart word name. The kindergarteners had such a fun time practicing their heart words.

These two students at East Elementary worked together to make a continuous chain of sight word cards as they practiced each of their words. A fun and interactive way to practice their sight words!

Sheldon Middle School students are learning how to set personal goals and work towards reaching them. The 6th grade students set some personal reading goals for the months of December and January. The students worked towards their goal each day. As a reward, the students who reached their goals were able to enjoy a afternoon of Bingo with some great prizes.
Great work 6th grade!

East Elementary 2nd graders have been learning about how to be good volunteers in their communities.
The 2nd grade students practiced their volunteering skills by traveling to Village Northwest Unlimited in town and took some time to play games with some of the residents. Our students and residents had fun doing a variety of different activities together.

The 8th Graders spent some time this week helping the 6th graders with the beginning stages of research for Night of the Notables.
Night of the Notables is an annual 6th grade event. The 6th grade students research notable people in history and write a paper. They then turn their paper into a speech. On April 11, they will present it to the community like a wax museum. Every time someone gives them a quarter they say share their information. This is also a fundraiser for their 6th grade field trip.

Today is National Read Aloud Day!
The High School Library Club visited East Elementary to celebrate and read aloud to each classroom.
Tonight would be a great night to sit with your child and read aloud to them. Reading aloud is one of the most important things parents and teachers can do with children. Reading aloud introduces vocabulary, shows students how to read fluently, allows students to hear expressive reading, and helps children recognize what reading for pleasure is all about!

Lunch is a fun time at school, but recently it was a lot more entertaining when some of the students took on some of the High School teachers in a friendly game of dodgeball over lunch.

Middle School art students are working on their surrealist bedroom paintings. Surrealism art aims to revolutionize the human experience.
