Getting ready for the total solar eclipse

The Co-op has spent the week in space! We have learned about the sun, the moon, the planets, and the constellations. It was such fun to discover the phases of the moon with our Oreo cookies, build rockets with magna tiles and paper, practice counting backward, and stomp our rockets above the trees. 

We are ready with our eclipse glasses and excited to see this special event in the sky.
