5th Grade Lego Mindstorms Robotics Club

2/10/2024 5:53 pm

Is your child interested in robotics? Do they want to know more about coding?

 

Prospect’s LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Club is a club where 5th grade students will learn to design, build and program robots using Lego Mindstorms EV3 kits. Because students will work in small groups to complete projects created specifically for EV3, regular attendance at club sessions is expected. Through the design process, students will develop engineering and coding skills in building and programming robots.

*Please note that students will not be able to take the robots home as all parts will be reused from session to session.

At this time, the club is available to a maximum of 15 5th grade students and will meet on the following Tuesdays after school until 4:15 p.m.:

March 5, 12, 19
April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
May 7 (The 14th will be used as a make up day if needed.)

Please complete this Google Form (http://tinyurl.com/RoboticsClubSpring24) to request registration for the robotics club prior to February 28. If more than 15 registrations are received, a random number generator will be used to determine participation. You will be notified of your child’s participation in the club or waitlist status on March 1. If you have any questions, please contact Meredith Bailey (mbailey@d181.org).

Waste-Free Wednesdays

2/10/2024 5:45 pm

Hi Panther Families!

 

Our EcoPanthers Club is here to inform you about a worldwide crisis that we need your help in solving. Did you know that the average person throws out 1,600 pounds of trash per year? Pollution is a serious issue and the only way we can help is by working together to stop it.

So, Prospect’s EcoPanthers are promoting Waste-Free Wednesdays! Every Wednesday we ask you to bring a waste free lunch to prevent the trash in landfills, oceans, and cities from getting bigger.

 

So, "what is a reusable lunch?” A reusable lunch does not contain any plastic baggies or non-recyclable containers. Reusable lunches also have earth-friendly water bottles, not the one time use water bottles.

We challenge you to participate in Waste-Free Wednesdays and, kids, if the majority of your class brings a waste-free lunch each Wednesday, then your class could get a Panther PAW!

Waste-Free Wednesday lunches start Wednesday, February 14th, and will continue every Wednesday until the end of the school year!

Thank for your support!
The Prospect EcoPanthers

One World Night - This Thursday!

2/2/2024 8:10 pm

Dear Prospect parents,

One World Night is THIS Thursday (February 8th)!! After months of preparation and hard work, Prospect students and their families are ready to showcase the global diversity and curiosity of our school community! 

Our Panthers will have the opportunity to “visit” and learn about twelve countries without ever leaving Clarendon Hills!  There will be tasty food and several fun activities planned for kids of all ages! Come and show support for your fellow classmates who will be there showcasing various countries of heritage and of interest. 

Just a reminder: One World Night is a family event, not a drop-off event.  Due to risk of food allergies, children must be under the supervision of a parent or guardian to receive snacks. 

As any school event, we need volunteers to help us during the event and after, for clean-up. If you are not showcasing a country and are available to help, please sign up here.

The event starts at 6:00 PM and runs until 7:30 PM.  We are so excited for this event and hope to see you all there! 

The ingredients of all foods served at the One World Night can be seen here.
