Amarillo Campus March 2023 Bulletin TCPS creates a monthly Pre-School and Grade 1 information bulletin for our parents and students. Enjoy our March issue. Justin’s Luv Foundation Donations TCPS is thrilled to once again take part in a special initiative leading up to Valentine’s Day. The Justin’s Luv Foundation mission is to provide care packages for families experiencing premature childbirth. The goal is to create as many care packages as possible with various items that a preemie baby would require. Justin is a student at TCPS and his mother began the foundation to help alleviate some of the stress on family members so that they can focus on what is really important, their preemie baby. Thank you to all families and staff who helped donate items to Justin’s Luv Foundation this year in support of preemie babies. Your contributions are greatly appreciated. Grade 5 IB Primary Years Programme Exhibition Grade 5 Primary Years Programme Exhibition As part of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) requirements, the grade 5 classes have been preparing for the PYP Exhibition. Over the past 8 weeks, the grade 5 students have undertaken an in-depth and collaborative inquiry project with the support of their teachers and teacher mentors. The Exhibition is a culminating project for the PYP. It is a collaborative inquiry in which students have a personal interest and requires them to apply their knowledge and skills acquired over their previous years within the PYP. The experience allows students to demonstrate initiative for taking action. The Exhibition is the ultimate summative assessment; however, it is also a link to the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The role of MYP is to augment the success students have made throughout the PYP years. The Exhibition sets the base for MYP teachers to build on. This base consists of teamwork, critical thinking and inquiry, problem-solving and risk taking, entrepreneurship and innovation. Certainly, skills and tools that will serve our students well in future years. This years’ Exhibition falls under the transdisciplinary theme of Sharing the Planet. Sharing the Planet is an inquiry into the following: the rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things, communities and the relationship within and between them, access to equal opportunities, peace and conflict resolution. The PYP Exhibition is a celebration of student learning and culminated with students showcasing their presentations in the Main Gymnasium on Friday, February 17th. There were 14 diverse topics ranging from equal rights, renewable energy, animal extinction, and pollution to name a few.
