Sheffield Spotlight

A HUGE shout out to the cafe team for putting on a delicious bbq lunch for the students at Hillcrest and Sheffield! It was a hot day to be grilling for that many hours, but it was absolutely delicious. Thank you to Firefighter Ellis for helping serve the ice cream! It was a very special day!

Third grade artists listened to the story "Over and Under the Pond" by Kate Messner. They generated a list of what you might see under the water. Together, we drew an S shaped swan and added individual items both above and below the pond's surface. Students painted their drawings with tempera paints and experimented with mixing colors for their pond water and sky.

Fourth grade artists have been experimenting with a new medium, scratchboard. The element of art, fourth graders explored was "texture". Students worked from photographs to draw realistic detailed sea turtles showing texture on their shell and flippers. Students also experimented with a heavier grade scratchboard and completed under-the-sea drawings from their imagination.

I love their attention to detail and creative additions!

Grade 5 students experimented with using different materials to filter water and make it clean! Be sure to ask them about their data and findings!

Thank you to Ms. Amy Donovan from the Franklin County Solid Waste Management District came to work with the new and current members of the Sheffield Green Team to install our new Earth Machine composting bin. Next year we will compost our leftover fresh fruits and veggies from our snack. We will then use that compost for our newly installed garden beds in our courtyard. Thank you so much Amy!
