Books, Tarantulas, Bats and Skunks, Oh My!

 Students that came to our Family Reading Night not only got a chance to shop the bookfair but also got to learn many awesome facts about bats and skunks! After the presentation, they got to view the animals up close and even touch the skunk and hold a tarantula! Thanks to the Incredible Bats company for bringing in the animals!

Family Reading Night This Thursday!

Our Family Reading Night will take place this Thursday, October 18!

Why bats and skunks?

This goes along with our “One Book, One School” book, A Boy Called BAT by Elana K. Arnold. The shipment of our books has been delayed, but we hope to start any day now! As soon as we receive them, we will be sending a copy of the book home with your oldest Prospect student.

Family Reading Night

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Family Reading Night before Thanksgiving! Families had a blast learning the Samba, and exploring different languages, cultures, and continents.

At one station, families made up their own "porquoi" story. These are common in African and Native American legends to tell why or how something is the way it is.

Listen to the porquoi stories Prospect families recorded here on our Sound Cloud page.
