5th Grade PYP Exhibition

This past Wednesday, our 5th grade students hosted their Exhibition as the summative project representing their experience in the PYP. The purpose of the project is for the students to demonstrate their cumulative learning while mirroring the process of a PYP Unit of Inquiry. While at Spicewood over 6 years students participate in 36 units of inquiry. Each year grade levels complete one Unit under each transdisciplinary theme, and do 6 of each theme between Kindergarten and 5th grade.
The Exhibition allows students to synthesize their learning of the five Essential Elements of the PYP: knowledge, skills, attitudes, action, and concepts. They do this in groups while conducting inquiry and research on an issue facing our world right now. Groups are mentored by Spicewood teachers and staff, and then presented to the community.
