SK’s Been Getting Ready for the Solar Eclipse!

The students in SK are so excited about this afternoon’s solar eclipse!!  We have spent the last few days learning about why it happens, experimenting and exploring to understand further, and even crafting their own eclipse pictures and models.  We’ve read stories and watched videos to learn as much we could!!

Here are some of the stories and videos we have watched in case your child wants to see them again:

Someone is Eating the Sun by Ruth A. Sonneborn

Total Solar Eclipse: A Stellar Friendship Story by Jayme Sandberg

A Few Beautiful Minutes: Experiencing a Solar Eclipse by Kate Allen Fox

The Great North American Solar Eclipse for Kids

Solar Eclipse for Kids – Socratica Kids

Along with the kids’ creations, we have sent home a Solar Eclipse Memory page for you to fill out at home as a record of this special event.  It is linked here in case you want to print at home.
