Recently, Orientation to Teaching students attended the 1st Quarterly ERZ Advisory Council Meeting at SAU, where they were recognized as being a teacher cadet. They also had the opportunity to speak with several professors at SAU and members of the Arkansas Department of Education in order to learn more about what they can do now to help them become a successful educator in the future. Thank you for taking them, Mrs. Foley!
Last Friday, members of EHS DECA attended the DECA Arkadelphia Mini Prep Conference at Henderson State University.

Students in Mrs. Parker’s Pre-AP Bio used clues to make models of DNA with “LearnDoh.” As Mrs. Parker says, “we don’t PlayDoh, we LearnDoh!”
Using models to predict molecular geometry in AP Chemistry can be fun...just add Play-Doh! What a cool way to bring the lesson to life, Mrs. Rankin!
Check out what students in Mrs. Newman’s FACS classes have been up to this school year. Recently, they had a lesson with an important focus in cooking: using what you already have instead of buying more of something. To practice this, Food Safety and Nutrition students researched recipes to cook using only the ingredients they already had in the classroom. The students made pancakes, funnel cakes, stir fry, fettuccini Alfredo and brownies. Way to be resourceful!

Mrs. Bibby's Business Law I students participated in mock interviews last week. The purpose of mock interviews is to give students the necessary tools they need to lead their dream job. One student stated, "I am very thankful for your feedback to me and for helping me be prepared for future interviews." Another student stated, "I really do learn better when I can see for myself how something works or actually goes."
Thank you to Lorraine Bibby (retired DHS supervisor), Joyce Martindale (EHS CTE teacher), and Vincent Dawson (SAAC health sciences advising coach) who worked with Mrs. Bibby to interview students.
What an amazing lesson in life skills, Mrs. Bibby!
