We had our first IB 5th grade Exhibition Parent Night tonight (we'll come up with a catchier title for nest year.)  You can click here for further information.  I would like to thank Mrs. Hart for organizing and leading this informative event.  I would also like to thank Mrs. Boris, Ms. Dodt, Mrs. Krol, Mrs. Rhoades, Mr. Robydek, Mrs. Powers and Mr. Walker for their hard work that will eventually make exhibition happen.  This journey started last year when Mrs. Rhoades and Mrs. Hart attended a special 4 day training for the exhibition process.  Teachers have spent countless hours on the exhibition Haiku page.  The Haiku portal will allow our students to have an online experience that few elementary students get.  The level of organization that has gone into this process is extremely extensive.

The exhibition is a culminating capstone like project that will showcase our students' learning from the time they entered the IB program through 5th grade.  It will showoff the students research skills, group work skills, technology skills and their ability to plan and take action.  The 6 week unit will cullminate with a formal evening where the students present their learning and action.  Prepare to be amazed by what a 5th grader is capable of accomplishing!
