The 5th graders have been exploring local issues with global significance as part of the IB Primary Years Program Exhibition. Through research, interviews, and field experiences, students have developed new understandings and have taken action to impact those issues. The issues explored include child abuse, child poverty, pollution, education, drug abuse, smoking, cancer, childhood obesity, endangered animals, animal abuse, and animal neglect. The exploration of these issues has led to student-initiated actions including taking gifts to cancer patients at Blank Children’s Hospital, trash collection around Hubbell and Roosevelt High School, petitions for environmental and educational concerns, supplies for the Animal Rescue League, facilitation of a sports clinic, emails to the state legislature, posters, bookmarks, websites, and many more.
