5th Grade Begins Work on Their PYP Exhibition

At the end of the Primary Years Program, 5th grade students work in groups on a project that outlines all they have learned on their journey through the PYP. This project, called The Exhibition, acts as an evaluation for both Spicewood, and our 5th grade students. We use it as a tool to reflect on how we, as a campus, are doing at implementing the PYP, and as a way to gauge how individuals have grown over time.
Working with a Spiceood faculty mentor students must write a central idea, inquiries into and questions that will outline what they hope to learn.
This is a powerful process for students as they have to use all the essential elements of the PYP: concepts, attitudes, knowledge, transdisciplinary skills and action.
Some of this year's topics include world hunger, poaching, immigration, the national debt and addiction.
Join us on May 2nd as our students share their work with the community!
