August 21st

Hello 4th grade parents!
We are so excited to begin our school year.  Our first three days with the kids were very enjoyable.  It takes a while to get into our new routine, but the kids are doing well with it.  As you know, tomorrow is the day that the solar eclipse will be happening.  On Friday we met our chapel buddies and taught them a little bit about the eclipse.  We also practiced putting the eclipse glasses on correctly to make sure that everyone will be safe when we go outside.  Here is what we have planned for tomorrow:

We have enough glasses for all of the students so that we can safely view the eclipse.  We will be going outside starting around 11 ish to observe what is happening outside with the animals, plants, and light.  We will come back in for awhile and do some classwork  and recording of our observations, but will go back outside every 30-40 minutes to observe the changes.  At 1:00 we invite you to join us in the West parking lot/playground to view the Total Eclipse (You will need to bring your own glasses if you join us).   Of course, we understand that some of you will be keeping your kids with you for the day and that is completely fine.  Enjoy this rare event!
