Celebrating IGHS Staff!! Thank you for all you do!! #pantherpride #gopanthers!!!
That sneaky leprechaun played tricks on the 4K students today. We tracked his footprints to prizes but we just couldn't seem to catch him. Maybe next year!
On Thursday, March 16, 2023, six 4th and 5th grade students took part in the annual LIt War competition hosted by CESA 3. To prepare, each student was an "expert" on one of the six books. In addition, they all read as many of the titles as possible to participate in the team competition.
Individual results:
4th grade
Irene~2nd Place~"When You Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead
George~1st Place~"Posted" by John David Anderson
5th Grade
Jaxson~2nd Place~ "Counting by 7s" by Holly Goldberg Sloan
Jordence~2nd Place ~ "A Night Divided" by Jennifer Nielsen
Natalie ~ 2nd Place ~ "Orphan Train Girl" by Christina Klein
5th Grade also placed 2nd in the team competition.
Keep Reading Panthers!
The 4-Year-Old Kindergarten students worked with their families to build leprechaun traps in hopes of trapping a leprechaun at school. The children invited school officials and classes into their classrooms to teach them how their leprechaun trap will catch the leprechaun. This fun and engaging project brings excitement to children and adults alike! We wish the children good luck as they attempt to trap the leprechaun today.
Students in Mrs. Heimsoth's 5th grade science class are learning about the engineering design cycle (Learn, Plan, Make, Test). They learned about the physics behind roller coasters, planned their design and today they made their roller coasters. For the final step in the design cycle, students will put their designs to the test and compete against each other to have the longest roller coaster.

Students in Mrs. Heimsoth's 6th grade science class enjoyed using the microscopes to look at a number of different specimens. The groups did a great job using team work to get their specimen in focus.
Students had a belated, brief, mischevious visit from Thing 1 and Thing 2 at IGEMS today!
Recently, the 4th grade class wrote about their favorite breakfast. Some of the students favorites are omelets, coffee cake, waffles and more waffles! Whether we eat breakfast at home or in school, it's a great way to power our day.
