Kindergarten just wrapped up their CKLA knowledge unit on plants. In the unit they learned about bees and all they do for us. Today classes had a local Beekeeper come in and teach them even more about taking care of them and some fun facts. The classes were “buzzing” with excitement! #lesinspire

At MISD, keeping schools safe is a shared effort. A door left open—even for just a moment—can create real safety concerns.
As part of our Stop the Prop campaign, you’ll notice new stickers on school doors across the district. These gentle reminders ask everyone to close doors behind them and avoid propping doors open.
It’s a small step that makes a big impact. 🚸
Happy Thanksgiving to our MISD community! 🦃

We met our first reading minutes goal! Our students have read 100,000 minutes at home this year, so we celebrated with a Glow Party! Thank you to the Longfellow Parent Group for donating all the glow supplies!
Our Preschool-2nd grade students had a great time dancing with their glow sticks and bracelets! Thanks to Mrs. Freesmeier we also had black lights to add to the glowing excitement!
We have already started working our way to our next goal of 200,000 minutes!
📚✨ Our 2nd graders had a “book tasting party” in library class this week! Students sampled different chapter books—just like trying new foods at a restaurant—getting a little taste of each story to find new favorites. 🍽️📖
They explored exciting characters, surprising plots, and new series to add to their reading lists. We love watching their curiosity grow! ❤️🤩 #lesinspire

Kindergartners is Mrs. Beckner’s class have been learning about different types of paper in science. They have been doing experiments like writing with different writing utensils on different types of paper, seeing how the different types of paper react to water, and learning about ways to recycle paper. It’s been a lot of hands on learning in KB! #lesinspire
