Solar Eclipse Viewing 2024!

My Project

My 6th grade students are hoping to get to see the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 that will be visible in our location! Many of my students might not have this opportunity if we are not able to supply them with the glasses.

This year, my students have learned about solar eclipses and I am hoping they get the chance to see one with their own eyes.

It would be really neat for this to be able to make this real life connection to something they are learning in school.

My students are special in so many ways. They all bring their own unique personalities and enjoy learning. I am really hoping to be to surprise them with these glasses and give them the same joy they bring me.
