🧮 Learning in Action at IMS! ✏️ Yesterday, we stopped by Mr. Mesorana’s Algebra 1 class, where students were up at the vertical whiteboards tackling a new challenge! Students had already learned how to solve multi-step equations, but this lesson took their thinking to the next level. For the first time, they had to take a word problem, create the equation themselves, AND solve an equation with variables on both sides. 💡 Working at the boards gave students the opportunity to collaborate, explain their thinking, work through productive struggle, and apply what they’ve learned in a brand-new way. This is what learning looks like—thinking, collaborating, problem-solving, and growing! ❤️🖤 #ProudToBeAThunderbird #LearningInAction #Algebra1 #BuildingThinkingClassrooms #ThunderbirdStandard

🎶🥁 Learning in Action at IMS! 🥁🎶 Yesterday, we caught Mr. Nottage’s 8th grade Band students putting in the work as they prepare for the upcoming SFHS parade! 🎺🥁 Students were practicing their marching skills while playing “All Star” by Smash Mouth—and they’re already looking and sounding parade-ready! ⭐ We love seeing our Thunderbirds build their skills, work together, and represent IMS beyond the walls of the classroom. Keep up the great work, Thunderbird Band! 🎶❤️🖤 #ProudToBeAThunderbird #IMSBand #LearningInAction #ThunderbirdPride
