The 7th graders in Mrs. Woelber's TA spent some of their TA time talking about Habit 5: Think Win-Win.
After the discussion students decided to color and write notes for residents of our local assisted living and senior living centers! The students hope to “fill their buckets” when the residents get their pictures and notes!

Our Kindergarteners did a Spooky Math Activity where they had to count spiders in tens frames that were hidden around the room.
Students loved getting to hurry around the room looking for the spiders!

Thanks to POET Bioprocessing in Ashton for the tour of their plant this morning.
Our high school chemistry students were able to travel to POET and see the behind scenes of what happens at POET daily to produce around 56 million gallons of ethanol annually. Students were also able to learn more about the careers available in this industry.
Thank you POET for opening up your plant to our student's learning today.

6th graders are continuing to learn more about the different systems of the body. Right now they are learning about the circulatory system, including blood, blood vessels and the heart.
After learning what makes up blood (plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) the students made a model using corn syrup, red hots, mini marshmallows and cookie sprinkles to represent what is all in their blood.
The students then had to draw their models, labeled all the parts and described the function of each part.
Next up they are going to be learning how the blood moves through the chambers of the heart and to the lungs.
Way to go 6th Grade!

The High School's Life Skills Class came over to East Elementary to do a peer activity group.
Students spent some time together frosting and decorating cookies.
Seeing our older students form relationships and do activities with our younger students is so great.
We have some great student leaders in our district.

The district computer science team participated in their first workshop with NewBoCo last week.
They dove into the Computer Science standards and worked on how teachers can implement these things into their everyday context areas.
Teachers had fun learning and trying out these devices. We are excited to see how these things will be used in our classrooms.

Thanks to the Sheldon Fire Department for letting our students come visit the station!

Mrs. Vogel’s class visited Old Jerry McVreeman’s farm last week.
They got to feed the animals, rode on tractors and had a snack in the grain bin!
It was a great day for the kids to experience and learn a little but more about farm life.

1st Grade Students had a reward day on Friday for their great FAST Reading scores this fall!
As students arrived to their classrooms, they received their ride bracelet and a set of Mickey or Minnie mouse ears. Students spent their day full of Disney themed learning activities.
Students went on a virtual tour of all the Disney world parks, played Disney Trivia, sorted Disney nouns, helped Buzz Lightyear shoot down alien attackers in a math subtraction game, practiced spelling with Lightning McQueen's letter lot, and students helped the 101 Dalamations escape Cruella in a heart word reading dash.
Such a fun reward day in 1st grade for their hard work and focus on their tests!

The 8th graders have been focusing on proportions in math class.
They did an application activity where they tagged "fish" in an effort to find the number of fish in their “Lake”.
Students were able to better see and understand proportions through this activity.

Kindergarten students have been working hard to learn and understand their numbers.
Students have practiced writing, counting, using numbers to represent the days of the month and how many days of school we have had.
The students are also starting to get the basic understating of adding to and taking away from numbers 1-10.
Great work Kindergarten!
