Exhibition Update

Exhibition Update
Exhibition is the culminating project for students in the PYP program and it is exciting to see students demonstrating the Learner Profile Attributes while immersed in  their own units of inquiry.   They are collaborating and communicating with each other.  Inquiring through their research they are  becoming more knowledgable and passionate about their topics!  I am so proud of the work they have done so far.  The central ideas and lines of inquiry are completed and students spent the week immersed in the research cycle.  
Many students are arranging field trips to talk to sources that can help them with their lines of inquiry, they may be contacting you to help drive them to their sources.
