It's all coming together now!

After 6 long weeks we are at the final stages of the exhibition!  We now have a title for the exhibition which was voted on by the students through this blog...

Technology... upload it to your mind!

We now have two mascots which we will use to identify the two different groups of visitors to the exhibition next week.  Both mascots were drawn by students in grade five and I think they show the theme of the exhibition as well as the personality of the students very well!

Beach Phone: Group B

And we just sent out our invitations on Wednesday inviting everyone to the presentation.  I am really excited to add an extra presentation this year which is a visit to the first and second grade classes.  I think the younger students are really going to enjoy seeing the "older students" showing what they have been doing.  All of the different people, parents, community members, teachers, mentors, and grade level teachers and students received a version of our invitation.  It was made by one of our 5th graders and I think it is an EXCELLENT example of balance in showing all students from each class as well as a little bit of our process.

Now, as the students finish their final reflections and evaluations and complete their presentation boards, we are in a FRENZY of creativity!  The halls are covered each day with students working in the halls designing, discussing and developing their presentations!  It's great to see such hands on learning!

And now as we near the end of the cycle of our inquiry, I'm interested in knowing what has been your favorite part of the exhibition inquiry cycle?  Wandering and Wondering, Planning and Preparing, Finding Information, Using Information, Synthesis, Evaluation, Presentation, or Action?  Why did you like that part the best?
