Before the end of the school year Dillsboro Elementary School students in Mrs. White's kindergarten class enjoyed their learning centers by exploring, building, and imagining together. Each learning center provided an opportunity for students to work independently or together to complete tasks. They were hands-on experiences that helped these young students be active participants in their learning.

South Dearborn Middle School students in Mr. Higgin's American History class learned about the Reconstruction era. This time period took place in the decade following the end of the American Civil War. The era is most notable for the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the US Constitution, the rise of sharecropping among emancipated slaves, and the enactment of "Jim Crow" laws throughout the South.

Aurora Elementary School students in Ms. Cady's class completed their “Dig In" STEM project. Students learned about archaeologists and paleontologists before going on their own fossil hunt around the school. Additionally, students had to make a tool that an archaeologist or paleontologist could use to dig up artifacts or fossils. Students designed prototypes and tested their initial tool designs to see which could hold the most dirt with one scoop. After testing, the students iterated on their designs to make better prototypes based on what they learned from their first model's test. Great job students on all your prototypes!
