1st graders in Mrs. Sandbulte's class got to get a little messy as they practiced their spelling words. Students put shaving cream on their desk and then practiced writing each of their spelling words in the shaving cream.
The students had so much fun practicing their words this way!

Our Kindergarteners are loving their Bee-Bots.
Bee-Bots are a perfect starting point for teaching control, directional language, and programming for our Kindergarteners at East Elementary.
Students have been learning how to work with the Bee-Bots throughout the year and are already learning how to program the Bee-Bots in more complicated ways.
Way to go Kindergarten!

1st graders led the school wide assembly today at East Elementary.
The 1st graders talked about how important it is to work together to get a job done. The whole 1st grade class built a large snowman during the assembly to demonstrate how everyone could work together and do their part to get the job done.
Great work 1st grade!

East Elementary students got to enjoy some fun activities of their choice after learning more about Habit 7 from the book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
Habit 7 talks about Sharping the Saw, which means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have—you! It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Our students got to practice Sharpening the Saw, by taking some time to do some activities that they enjoy and have some fun with their friends.
Each classroom had a different activity that the kids could pick from. Some of the activities included Legos, free drawing, playdough, board games, puzzles, darts, and more!
It was so fun to see our students get to Sharpen their Saw and enjoy some fun activities of their choice!

Mrs. Buenger's 1st graders made some winter snowmen during their art class. The students did so well with this very large art project.
It's safe to say that the students could make a real snowman outside, just as big or bigger with all the snow that we have had this year!
If you drive by East Elementary, you can see these snowmen waving to your from the window!

Preschool students are doing a Transportation Study this week and they are having so much fun and learning a lot!
In dramatic play, students have been pretending to be mechanics working on different cars. They even have got to dress up like mechanics. We might have some future mechanics in this class!
Preschool students have also learned about different types of transportation vehicles and the jobs that they do.
Our students are having so much fun learning about transportation this week!

The students in 1st grade got to experience the Star Lab last week.
1st graders were able to go inside of the lab and see how the night sky looks during different seasons. Such a great experience for our students to learn more about the stars.
Thanks to O'Brien County Conservation for making this possible for our students.

What is a Leader?
The Sheldon CSD School Board was able to learn from the East Elementary students and teachers what it means to be a leader at school.
Some of our Kindergarten through 4th grade students came to the board meeting last night and answered some questions from board members and building principals about how they work to be a good leader in their school each day.
The teachers also shared with the board how they implement leadership skills in their teaching each week to help the students grow their leadership skills.
We are proud of our students and teachers for their leadership work for our district!
