My Project

I would like to provide our 3rd graders the equipment needed to successfully observe the 2024 solar eclipse. With the correct materials, students will be able to safely observe the eclipse, as well as learn different facts in relation to eclipses. This project will provide books, information, glasses, etc. to help make this an exciting experience for the students. We plan to learn about this once in a lifetime event through the projects and information provided with this DonorsChoose activity. Please help our students with learning about this exciting event safely. Thank you in advance!
