The C.J. Morris Elementary
School
fifth grade International
Baccalaureate

Exhibition featured an array of
projects on many of the world’s natural disasters. 


Families
gathered as 17 groups
presented their final projects.  Each had been
well-researched as students took turns publicly
sharing their findings using visual displays, posters,
and multimedia presentations.


“The Exhibition is the culmination of
students’ K-5 learning as an international student”, said C.J. Morris’ IB
Coordinator Diva Arellanez.

The students demonstrate IB knowledge
through the five essential elements of the PYP (Primary Years Program) program:
Key Concepts, Transdisciplinary Themes, Attitudes and the Learner Profile,
Transdisciplinary Skills, and an Action that helps the community or
environment. 

For the past three
months, groups had worked on exhibition projects with the support of mentor
volunteer teachers.  The
collaboration process required accountability and follow-through with the young
participants.
