Today’s solar eclipse provided a fun, interactive way to bring classroom lessons to life right outside of our school doors! 
Students watched the eclipse safely with district-issued protective glasses, drew the phases they were witnessing, journaled about the eclipse, and had paired conversations with peers to discuss what they were seeing based on what they learned in class about the solar eclipse.
At Regional Day School students were able to safely experience the eclipse upon their dismissal. Some students even made special art paper plates to pair with their protective glasses that created a festive and extra secure way to protect their eyes. Conversations were had between families, students and staff during dismissal as they discussed what they learned about the eclipse in school and witnessed it safely with the district-issued protective glasses, together.
Staff enjoyed witnessing the eclipse safely as well!
It was another wonderful and interactive day of learning at the Manchester Township School District!
