Fifth grade students lead the way, applying their learning and taking action to make a better world.
This year's PYP Exhibition was held the week of May 16 - 20. Each class presented on a specific day and shared an introduction to their topic. Their parents and other elementary classes then got to participate in interactive stations.
Each of the five classes spent the semester working on student-driven collaborative inquiries into real-life issues they identified as important to them. This year the students focused their studies on the following central ideas:
