How can I help my child?
We really encourage the children to be as independent as possible. You can help encourage them by speaking to them about where they are in the Exhibition process, what passions they're following, how they can be mindful and present in their everyday lives, and what questions they are researching along the way. At this stage, you might find your children struggling the most with finding resources. Don't be afraid to take them to the library, explore websites, or share your expertise with them!
What is the schedule?
The children have been involved in the Tuning In and Finding Out phases since the end of January. The full Exhibition schedule begins on March 2. During this time your fourth graders will be immersed in Exhibition. They will be working for several hours each day on their research. The Exhibition will take place on May 20th at 6:30pm.

How do I contact my child's mentor?
You will receive an email from your child's mentor once they are assigned. This should happen just before Spring Break. At that time we will link to the mentors' profiles from this website.

Where do I find my child's assignments?
Beginning the week of March 2, you will be able to find all of your child's assignments on Veracross. We are using Veracross, Google Docs, and email to help foster independence as well as to help get your child ready for fifth grade.
