Reminder about Exhibition Parent's Open House tomorrow, Thursday, May 8 from 7:45 to 8:30 and Friday, May 16 from 7:45 to 8:30

Dear parents and guardians of the Grade 5 Exhibition Students,

Please remember that tomorrow, Thursday, May 8 from 7:45 - 8:30, we are going to have our first Open House meeting in your child's Exhibition' classroom (Rooms 36 and 37) in which you can come see what the Exhibition students have been up to for the past few weeks. 

We will have another Open House next Friday, May 16 from 7:45 - 8:30.

As part of this Open House, the Exhibition teachers would love you to talk to the Exhibition students, in small groups, about what they are finding out in their inquiries into their various issues and the process of the Exhibition in general. If you choose to come in on this morning, we will invite you to sit with a few groups of students and to have a chat with these students about the following items (amongst other things you may want to discuss):

• What have you and your group done so far related to the Exhibition?
• What have you learned about your issue so far?
• What plans do you have to collect more information?
• What are you trying to find out about your issue?
• Where have you gotten your information from? What experts?
• What tasks are you and your group trying to accomplish this week?
• What sorts of action can you take to address your issue?
• What sorts of action do organisations and other experts take to address your issue?
• What sorts of things did you have to do as a group in order to prepare for research?
• What is it like to have a mentor?

Students will have Exhibition journals, blogs, and research documents that you may want to discuss with them as well.

We  look forward to meeting all of you this week, AND/OR next Friday, May 16.

Thank you so much,

The 2014 Exhibition teaching team
