Sheldon Middle School

6th grade science has been learning about the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells, as well as the parts of each cell. Today the students presented their cell models to their classmates and the 5th grade class. These students did an AMAZING job with creating their models as well as explaining the different functions and parts of the cell. Great job 6th grade! #LEADON #Orabs #science #middleschool #cellproject

Our middle and high school students have had some exciting activities this week. The Middle School P.E class spent time practicing their water sport skills with canoeing and paddle boarding. Thanks to our bus driver John Jinkinson for letting this class come out to his pond for this activity. The high school had the Army National Guard bring in their rock wall for students to climb while also discussing the opportunity of joining the guard. Thanks to all who help make these experiences possible for our students!

Mrs. Vogel's class went and visited the Clay County Fair today. The students got to ride the rides, pet some animals and even got to watch the horse show. Our students had a great day experiencing the fair!

Students in Mrs. Nilson's ELL class discussed the events of 9/11 and what happened in the United States 21 years ago. After their discussion they wrote letters to first responders thanking them for what they do for us and our country. This was a great way to practice and use their English writing skills. This is a great reminder for all of us to thank those that serve and help our country and area daily. #leadon

7th Graders in Mrs. Woelber's class have been reviewing their number sense skills this week. Groups rotated around to different review stations to review their skills in preparation for their test. Having students up, moving and reviewing with hands on activities is a great way for them to practice and retain their skills.

The 6th graders got to visit the O'Brien County outdoor classroom on Thursday. The day was filled with water Olympics, predator and prey games, spear throwing, fishing, learning all about bees, water experiments and more. It was a HOT, but FUN day of outdoor learning for our students!

Sheldon Middle School students are learning all about color and design in art class. Some students are working on a "Drip Art" project while others are choosing to use color in designs already made. The creativity being shown by our students is amazing.
