I will look into some resources for ideas for this.]]> 2017-08-10 16:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/180634600 Kelly K. https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/180634708 Maybe the kids can also make some sort of craft/project/journal they can keep to remember the event?  I will also look into some specific ideas for this.

I found a simple craft to make with paper & chalk - http://booksandgiggles.com/2017/06/solar-eclipse-craft-for-kids.html/
This teacher also had a link to a pretty good YouTube video which explains eclipses nicely. I would probably safeshare it and edit out the end about viewing the eclipse, since our kids won't be able to view it.]]> 2017-08-10 16:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/180634708 Kelly K. https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/181724264 BrainPOP also has a video & a few activities.]]> 2017-08-19 13:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/181724264 Cindi Here is a page from NASA that includes resources. https://www.nasa.gov/eclipselive-info#NASA+EDGE https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/181763823 2017-08-20 16:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/figueroaa/1exey4vz897l/wish/181763823
