First grade students at Dillsboro Elementary School were "foam-tastic" readers! Writing CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) in shaving cream was a fun and engaging way for young learners to practice their literacy skills. This sensory activity allowed children to physically trace and form letters, reinforcing their understanding of letter sounds and word formation. The tactile experience of writing in shaving cream can enhance learning and memory retention, making it an effective tool for early literacy development.

Eighth grade South Dearborn Middle School students in Ms. Gabbard's Medical Detective class studied how food-borne illness outbreaks occur and how forensic scientists determine the source of the outbreak.
They applied their studies in a fictious scenario and had to conduct their own tests to identify the source of the fictious outbreak. They also were responsible for monitoring the symptoms of those who became ill as well as to conduct tests on the patients to identify which ...toxins they had acquired from the contaminated food.
After all their testing was complete, the students role-played as different community members involved in the story and recorded a local broadcast news report about the outbreak. This role-play included reporters talking to epidemiologists who investigated the outbreak as well as reporters interviewing the business owner responsible for the food-borne illness outbreak in the community.
This lesson not only engaged students to understand food-borne illness outbreaks in a holistic way, but this lesson is also timely given the current reporting on an E. coli outbreak in McDonald's quarter-pounders across central and western states. Thus, the students are now better equipped to more fully understand this outbreak, the public health response to it, and how the information was communicated to the public about it.

Students in Ms. Black's first grade STEM class learned about coding, algorithms, and debugging using BeeBots. BeeBots can be programmed to traverse a set path on the floor grid. Programming BeeBot operations is a fun way to offer students valuable experience learning the important digital skills they will need to succeed in the future.

I attended the parent night at SDHS Wednesday evening. The Marching Band kicked the event off (I heard them, but missed the photo opportunity). Then Show Choir dazzled us with an amazing performance in the auditorium. There was food and the parents were free to wonder the building and meet our amazing staff! It was a great night that showcased our students and staff!

Wednesday SDHS hosted a college and career fair for the students. The event was a huge success! I was lucky enough to attend and interact with the students and the vendors. The students were able to learn about colleges and universities that they can attend after graduation as well as careers waiting for them after graduation or after additional education or training. Special shoutout to IU East for hooking this proud alum up with some swag for my office! We appreciate all of the colleges, universities, and employers for participating!

The featured staff member of the week is Mrs. Christa Socks. Mrs. Socks graduated from Lawrenceburg High School. After graduation, she attended Indiana University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing. Ten years ago, she started at South Dearborn as a substitute teacher and later became a paraprofessional for a special needs classroom. She absolutely loved it and decided to get her teaching license. She went through the transition to teaching program at American College of Education (ACE). For the past eight years, Mrs. Socks has been a special education teacher at SDHS.
Mrs. Socks has been married for 27 years and has three children. Two of them are proud graduates of SDHS and her third child is in his senior year at SDHS. Mrs. Socks enjoys spending time with her family, reading, playing games, and fishing. A fun fact about Mrs. Socks is that she was a competitive baton twirler for 10 years when she was younger. We are so grateful for the decade of service that Mrs. Socks has given to our Knights, and we look forward to many more years of her dedication to our students!

In lieu of “spooky season” being upon us, South Dearborn Middle School students in Mr. Mattox’s class read Roald Dahl’s short horror story, “The Landlady.” In addition to enjoying this bone chilling read, the students analyzed the literary elements that made the plot twists and horror of this story successful.
What’s your favorite scary story to read around Halloween? 👻📙
