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.
