What We're Learning
Third graders at Peirce will experience six transdisciplinary units as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). For more information about PYP, please check out http://www.ibo.org/en/programmes/primary-years-programme/.
If, as parents and guardians, you have access to resources, people, or Chicago places we should know about to supplement our inquiry units, please let me know! I hope to provide students with an array of experiences that will deepen their understanding of our key concepts.
