Reading with your child is one of the BEST ways to help them succeed and become a reader! 📚
15-20 minutes of reading together each day can significantly impact your child’s learning. It’s a valuable way to prepare your child for the future! #MISDInspire #MISDOwnYourFuture

Students in KP used a cooperative learning technique called “quiz, quiz, trade” to practice letter sound identification. This learning structure encourages collaboration and active participation. It’s a fun, interactive way to reinforce skills. #lesinspire #misdinspire
Students in Mrs. Beckner's class are learning about trees in science. Today they went outside and collected things that come from trees and then sorted them. Next they’ll talk about food that comes from trees. #lesinspire #misdinspire

Today was Class Color day for Spirit Week! We loved seeing groups of colors moving through the halls at Longfellow! #lesinspire #misdinspire
Field trips are the BEST kind of adventure! ☺️ The second graders traveled to the Devonian Fossil Gorge today and had the chance to learn more about the animals that live in our area now 🦊🦨🦫, how to stay safe in the water with your family 🛟, and what types of animals lived in this area during the Devonian age. The gorge was an AMAZING place to explore!
Thank you to all the kindergarten parents who came out to Curriculum night tonight! We hope you left with a little more knowledge about our day and activities you can do at home with your child.
All students at Longfellow, Parkview, FMI, VMS, and MHS will be dismissed 2 hours EARLY on Wednesday, October 9 for Professional Learning time for staff. #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
