"Third Grade students are celebrating March Madness in STEM class by coding their Dash robots to shoot baskets!"
MIS Student Council asked their teachers, "ORANGE you glad it's almost Spring Break?!" Feeling punny, they stocked the teachers' lounge with lots of on-theme goodies to show their appreciation for our top notch MIS staff.
Mrs. Hassett's 8th Grade Advanced ELA students showcased their discussion skills in the library with a student-led Socratic Seminar after finishing The Hunger Games!
Students posed in-depth questions to each other, exploring dystopian societies, character development, point of view, and theme. They demonstrated their ability to build on each other's responses, drive the conversation forward, and reference the text to make real-world connections.
These critical thinking and discussion skills will carry over into their writing as they analyze a chosen theme in essay format in the coming weeks. Fantastic job, students! 👏🔥
We're Hiring!

A group of students at MIS has been hard at work the last few weeks wrapping up their Genius Hour passion projects! These students took on this extra responsibility, using their independent work time to research a topic of their choice and then create a final product to showcase their learning. Given the opportunity to dive into what interests them, students investigated topics like the periodic table, music history, dwarf planets, sports, and more! Their projects have been just as varied and just as amazing, ranging from game shows to animated videos to scavenger hunts to 3D models. They all did a great job and were so proud to show off their work!
