6th Grade Exhibition - Volunteers Needed

As part of the International Baccalaureate program all 6th grade students participate in a final project that pulls together all the skills they have learned in the elementary program. Students at both Kaposia Education Center and Lincoln Center Elementary will present these projects to peers, parents, and interested community members this spring.

We are looking for volunteers who would act as mentors for small groups (2-5 students) of 6th graders. Each group would be formed around a topic the students have chosen. Volunteers would be "the guide on the side" helping the group stay focused, encouraging them, helping them with organization, and keeping track of project deadlines. It is not the job of the Mentor to do the research or to be the "expert" on the topic. Nor is it your job to deal with discipline issues that may arise. The 6th grade teachers will provide support for you as you work with your small group.

What is Exhibition?

A required, culminating project for the Primary Years IB Program
A group inquiry into a topic of interest to the students

Students will develop a plan, determine the focus questions for their research, decide how best to present the information, and then take some action to educate or contribute to a solution to the problem they chose to research.

What is the Mentor's Responsibility?

To meet with your group on a regular basis(see timeline on back of this flyer)
To act as a guide for the group giving feedback and encouragement
To keep a journal of group activities and to share this with the 6th grade teacher
To help the group rehearse their presentation

If you are interested in Mentoring or would like more information, please email or call:

The Minnesota bureau of Criminal Apprehension(BCA)announced that a new automated fingerprint identification system(AFIS)will enhance the ability of law enforcement to match people to criminal activity based on fingerprints. This new system will provide more rapid matching of fingerprints submitted to the system and has greater storage capacity than the previous database. Agencies can submit fingerprints and receive a match within a few minutes, a process which previously could have taken several hours. The technology in the new AFIS makes it possible to match more fingerprints of lower quality; such as those captured at crime scenes, enhancing the capabilities for investigating crimes.
The new AFIS also stores and matches palm prints, among the ost common pieces of evidence left a crime scenes. In addition, new electronic fingerprint capture devices, called Live scans, can capture fingerprints and palm prints at booking, and takes a digital photograph. This expands the information in a database that can be matched against evidence collected from crime scenes and can potentially help solve crimes more quickly.
The new features are a key piece in system-wide effort to link more criminal justice information to fingerprints, and to expand submission to the state's digital booking photo database.
The new AFIS will have a dramatic impact on law enforcement's crime fighting efforts. Rapid identification of suspects and persons of unknown identity is a major step toward making our state a safer place.
