Greetings All! 

I hope you are getting excited for the eclipse next week - I know I am! Minnesota Public Radio is wondering what teachers across the state are doing to engage our students with this event. Elizabeth Shockman, education reporter for MPR, reached out to me so I am reaching out to you. You can email Elizabeth at: eshockman@mpr.org and let her know if you are making pinhole cameras, getting your students out to observe this event or anything in-between. 

Looking for resources? Check out the links below:

For me, I am using some personal days to travel to Indianapolis to be in the path of totality (keep your fingers crossed for clear skies!). My sub will be taking students out to see the view from our school yard.

Happy Viewing!
