On Monday, April 8th, a solar eclipse will cross our area! You can only view the eclipse through special eclipse glasses or by easily creating a pinhole projector. In this YouTube video, you'll be guided through the step-by-step process of transforming a regular cereal box into a handy tool for safely viewing solar eclipses. With just a few materials and some easy-to-follow instructions, you'll be ready to witness the wonder of an eclipse without risking any harm to your eyes. We're excited to witness an "out of this world" experience with our students and families! https://youtu.be/PI1ttQxXt5s?si=QESnxDwMh5ycl89C
