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!
Reminder: there will be no school Thursday, Friday and Monday, April 17-21.

This event is an opportunity for students to perform solos and in small groups. Judges will score them and assign a rating of 1-5, with 1 being "outstanding". There will be vocal and instrumental performances that take place in 7 minute blocks throughout the day. Some students are doing both and have several different performances.
