Mental Health/Disability Awareness Day at IPS! A true collaborative effort of city and school resources to help our students mental health and teach acceptance. Stations included sign language, deep breathing, fine motor, acceptance of differences, and use of senses.










Gobble Gobble! Students in first grade were challenged to build a turkey with Brainflakes. This enabled students to showcase their creativity and imagination. Each turkey was unique, promoting a sense of innovation and originality among the students!

In Design Technology, third graders are learning to work collaboratively on a coding and robotics project. Students will create a maze with multiple turns and possible ways to get Dash (their robot) to the finish line. The challenge is to be able to program Dash to navigate one’s own original maze. This experience provides students with the opportunity to watch their virtual coding turn into tangible learning experiences.

One of our district's most amazing resources is our Outdoor Education Center and Land Lab! Superintendent Ben Hegedish visited the Land Lab today and talked with Bio Society president and vice president, Ashley and Joe, who helped highlight all the reasons why they love the Center & Land Lab. The video also features our fourth graders who visited the Land Lab and learned so much today. #iPride https://youtu.be/jEfn46GJzHc

Second graders in Mrs. Morosko's class were challenged to build a standing structure. They tested each structure stacking books on top. The one with the most books, was the winner. Students had a blast!
