Identity Fair - Tuesday (Project must be completed for sharing)

No P.E. tomorrow. 

No school Monday due to job action

Thursday, May 29^th, 2014

Dear parents,

Identity Fair

As you know the students have been working hard to complete their Genius Hour projects to be shared at our school wide “Identity Fair”. We just wanted to remind parents that you are invited to come and visit all classes during the afternoon on Tuesday, June 3^rd from 1-2 pm. The intermediate students will also have chance to circulate and view other classes projects earlier throughout the day.

The purpose behind this school wide event is to give students the opportunity to share in exploring their passions with others, to build community and to promote the curiosity and the process of inquiry.

Laity View Arcade

Another upcoming event for students is our “Laity View Arcade”. The students will be planning and building their own arcade games primarily constructed from cardboard and tape. Students will begin by participating in a building day on Tuesday, June 10^th and on June 17^th will have the games set up in classes for students to circulate and “play”.

The school is seeking donations of the following supplies for this event:

·         Cardboard (all shapes and sizes)

·         Scissors & box cutters

·         Duct tape & masking tape

·         Glue, glue guns & glue sticks

Thank you,

Laity View Intermediate Staff

3.  City of Ember: Finish reading responses if you have not already

The occupations of Lina and her friends are decided by a chance from draw of paper from a bag. Imagine that you are one of the young people picking a job. Describe the job you would want most and tell what you would like about it. Then describe the job you would want the least and tell why it would not suit you.

On p. 37, the chief guard, Redge Stabmark says to Lina, ``curiosity leads to trouble``. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? How do you think this statement might be foreshadowing events that may happen later in the novel?
