Sheffield's Green Team Welcomes Guest Amy Donovan
Fourth and fifth grade Green Team members along with Amy Donovan from Franklin County Waste District introduced our new composting process. Each day during lunches they supported the new process.
Sheffield's composting program prevents valuable organic waste from ending up in the landfill and provided a unique educational opportunities for our students. Currently, the materials are sent to Martin's Farm, however the Green Team and Nurse Billie will be working toward using the soil in our future school gardens.
Ms. Charboneau's students love FRACTIONS!
Learners in Ms. Charboneau's class participated in a real-life applications of fraction concepts by making trail mix. As a result of this Project Based Learning lesson, Ms. Charboneau's students are able to apply their newly learned mathematical concepts, are better able to retain the information, as well as understand the importance of fractions.
Jump Roping in PE with Ms. Tyler
Students have been learning jump rope skills in PE the month of January. They have practiced independent/individual jumping skills using a single rope such as jumping forwards, backward, and exploring trick jumps such as jumping on one foot, moving while jumping, and “scissor leg” jumping. They have also explored and practiced working as a team/group to turn and jump using the long rope.
On January 31, 2024, the Vernon Elementary School Jump Rope Team, the Tornadoes, did an assembly for grades 2-6. Students saw individual jumping, group/teamwork with the long rope, and learned that it takes practice to improve any skill, BUT the key is to never give up when something is new…to try and to keep practicing, even when something is hard or challenging.
