The eclipse was super amazing. The students learned a lot
and it definitely was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be able to experience
with all their friends at RBE!
This morning we had eclipse
stations. There were three stations that helped us learn and prepare for
the eclipse. At one station, the kids decorated paper plates to use with
their eclipse glasses. At the second station, the students made a hole
punch design to be able to see the different shadows made by the eclipse
(unfortunately this did not work out as we were expecting). They had a
fun eclipse snack also! The students assimilated an eclipse by using a
Vanilla Wafer (sun) and an Oreo (moon). They moved the "moon"
in front of the "sun" to represent totality and continued to move it
across to show the progression of the eclipse.
We started to make a list of
what we learned - we will continue to add to it tomorrow! Mrs. Eskridge
came in and talked with us a little about what will happen during the eclipse.
We spent approximately and hour
and half this afternoon outside. We experienced the beginning of the
eclipse through totality during this time. Throughout the day, we kept
track of the time, temperature and what the sun looked like through our solar
eclipse glasses. We discovered that the temperature really did go down
during the eclipse! It was 89 degrees before the eclipse stared and
during totality it was 80 degrees!
It was definitely a fun and
exciting day! You

Have a fabulous evening!
Mrs. Ross
