One book, one community

On Friday we had the privilege of having a guest speaker come to visit Songo Locks, Sparks Ark! Mr. Spark is a gentlemen that goes around the area helping animals that have been hurt or they are stuck in people's homes. He cares for these animals until they are well enough to be released into the wild. He also goes around to different schools teaching students about the local wildlife, how they adapt, their special features, and how to be safe if one comes across the path of such an animal.  Because of the number of animals he encounters in his profession, he has come to acquire quite a few animals that he brings into schools to teach with. On Friday, he brought an owl, a snake, a opossum, a chinchilla, and a ferret (just to name a few). 

At the end of the exciting presentation, Mrs. Conley mentioned that their was clue in that presentation for our new one book, one community book! Of course today the book was revealed!  We will be reading Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizard in the Fridge by Bill Wallace.  This is a wonderful opportunity to sit down as a family at night and enjoy this book together.  Everyone in the school, including all of the staff will be enjoying the book together over the next few weeks.  Each morning Mr. Dickerson will be asking a question about the previous nights chapter.  So, grab a cocoa and a blanket, and cozy up with the book we will all be reading and taking about, Ferret in the Bedroom, Lizard in the Fridge!
