Grade 5 students combined the arts and technology to create an impressively comprehensive and engaging multimedia website showcasing their learning for their American Revolution PBL as they asked themselves “How do we as artists create a website experience that connects our community with the people and events of the American Revolution?”

For many students, the anxiety, isolation, and social-emotional distress they faced over the past year has hit hard. Creating art provides opportunities for student expression and outlets for difficult feelings. It gives them a medium to reflect and make sense of what is happening. IPA students have had music, visual arts, and theatre – and the support of their teachers – to help them cope with the pandemic.

Grade 5 students in Mrs. Yoshino’s computer science class recently competed in the 2021 Stock Market Game.

Team Pixel (Mckenzie ‘28, Avalyn ‘28, Kyler ‘28, and Reigne ‘28) placed first, and Team Alex (Alexander ‘28) won second.
