Preschool Picture Day and Picture Retake Day will be on Friday, September 23rd.
Our Middle School students focus on habits throughout the year. The habits are based on the book, "The 7 Habits of High Effective People" by Stephen Covey.
The TA groups got together to discuss Habit 2, "begin with the end in mind" Students practiced using this habit by putting puzzles together without seeing the pictures or the box.
This was a great activity for students to practice the habit as well as learning to work with others to achieve a common goal.

Our Middle School students get to participate in weekly science labs to practice their understanding of the science concepts they are learning.
The 7th grade students are working on a water lab this week in class. In the lab process students hypothesis, test their hypothesis, record results and report back on their findings.
We are fortunate to have a full science lab at our middle school building.

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!

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.

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.

Sheldon Middle School Staff representing their favorite teams for the big inner state game this weekend. We want to know are, you team Iowa or Iowa State?
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!
Lots of hands on learning happening in Ms. Nordahl's 5th grade science class. The students have been practicing finding the mass of different items around the room as they begin their measuring unit.
Way to go 5th Grade!
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.
