We have an excited once in a lifetime event happening on Monday, the 21st.  K-2 students had a presenter, Mrs. Wester come and share what an eclipse is and what is the best way to view it.

She shared about how to view the eclipse safely using a pin hole projector  made from paper.

I have included several links below from the NASA website where you can see several videos and pictures of the eclipse.  At the link below you  can also print a picture of the state of Alabama and then create a pin hole projector.  You would look at the ground with through the pin hole and you can see phases of the eclipse.
