📚✨ Mrs. Sellers’ 8th grade ELA class is diving into Native American heritage through reading and discussion! To inspire even more curiosity, she’s provided a collection of additional books for students to explore! What a great way to celebrate and learn about different cultures! 🧡🖤 #ibtigerpride 🐯

📚✏️ Our 4th and 5th graders are off to an amazing start in math! 🔹 5th grade is learning all about volume and using formulas with the help of hands-on manipulatives. 🔹 4th grade is building strong number sense by working on place value and comparing numbers. We’re so proud of their hard work and excitement for learning! 💡🎉 👉 Ask your child to show you what they’ve been learning in math, you’ll be impressed!

Mrs. Edwards’ 2nd graders are shining bright as they share new subtraction strategies with their classmates. 💡➖ Watching them teach and learn from one another is what teamwork and growing minds are all about! ❤️👏

🎨 Art class is officially underway at IBES! Our students are excited to dive into a creative year ahead. This week, they’ve been learning what art will look like throughout the year and kicked things off with a fun Art Bingo icebreaker to explore the different tools they’ll be using. 🖌️✨

We can’t wait to see the creativity unfold! 💡🎨
