4th Graders at East Elementary had their field trip to Oak Grove Park in Hawarden yesterday. Students were able to learn more about some of the wildlife that lives in that area and explore along the paths through the park. 4th graders even had the option to touch a snake, which some were more excited about than others! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #fieldtrip

Partner reading is a great way to improve reading fluency! Each time our students are able to read aloud to someone, they improve their reading. Ask your child to read aloud to you tonight and see how much they have improved from the beginning of the school year. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #learning #reading #readingfluency #lovetoread

2nd graders are working on their throwing accuracy in PE with a game called, Monster Ball. On the command students attempt to throw the small balls at the Monster Ball in order to make it move. Their goal is to try and get the Monster ball to cross the line on the opposing team’s side of the line. If the Monster Ball rolls outside of the designated area – the opposing team’s side will receive one point. Our students have had such a fun time working on their throwing skills with this upbeat and intense game! #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #PE #sheldon #2ndgrade #throwingskills
