How much time do students spend working on the Exhibition?
● The students start brainstorming ideas and thinking about concepts in January
● The students will then spend about 8 weeks working on their inquires from February to April
● The students will still have Math and literacy lessons during the Exhibition time, but most other lessons should be based around working on inquiries
What about Exhibition Homework?
● The children should use their time at home to research and prepare for the work in class
● The actual work should be done in class so I can keep track of each child's progress
