Students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children class were recently learning about Prenatal Development. They have been researching what happens to the fetus and what the mother is feeling during the nine months of pregnancy. To help students better understand how a mother may be feeling during pregnancy, they had the opportunity to wear the Empathy Belly Simulator. This simulator represents the ninth month of pregnancy and allows the students to feel some of the same symptoms that an expecting mother would feel.

Students in Mrs. Morse's Food, Family and Society class have been learning about how food has transitioned over time. They prepared "pioneer foods"-- recipes using simple, staple, basic ingredients grown in our environment. Just recently, they talked about "traditional foods"-- hearty, wholesome, made from scratch foods, that bring people together. They made homemade pizza dough and topped it off with their favorite toppings. The feeling of pride in making their pizzas homemade was sensed in the classroom, not to mention, they enjoyed eating them!
Last week Friday, Mr. Franz and Mrs. Morgan, along with the rest of the food service team, created a special Homecoming meal for our students in grades 6-12. Over 300 hamburgers and 60 brats were grilled, along with a hand-frosted, school spirit cookie. Thanks to everyone for their hard work!

Digital Citizenship Week
In honor of Digital Citizenship Week, we are sharing a tip from Common Sense Media about Protecting Personal Data Online.
"As kids grow up spending more and more time online—for entertainment and for learning—it's important that they know how to stay safe. Whether they're playing multiplayer games or using social media, guide your children to be responsible by going over some basic rules of internet safety for grades K–5 and grades 6–12. Talk about your family's rules and expectations for behavior and being mindful of what they share online. This can go a long way in supporting your children's safety and well-being."
K-5 students have already spent time exploring and learning about digital citizenship/safety. Each student has a Digital Citizen Choice Board, which enables them to continue to explore the concepts.
Middle school students enrolled in Information Technology will be starting their Digital Citizenship unit next week.
H.B. Patch and OES have Picture Retakes tomorrow, Thursday, October 17.
