Task: All students will create a Phases of the Moon diagram using Oreo cookies and a plastic knife. Simply cut away the cream filling to make each phase of the moon. Glue the cookies onto a sheet of paper and then label each phase.
See the diagram below when you are making your diagram with the Oreos.

You will receive the solar glasses for you and your students in morning. Kindergarten through 1st grade will bring blankets and/or towels outside to view eclipse. Students in grades 2nd through 5th will bring their classroom chairs outside to sit on during the Eclipse. The District was very specific about directions for viewing, which I have listed below. I would recommend, especially with our youngest students, practicing these first thing in the morning. We will begin calling classes outside at approximately 2:00 p.m. – perhaps a little earlier depending on the Eclipse.
1) EVERY child must have a pair of solar glasses accounted for by the teacher before exiting the building.
As we prepare our students to experience the solar eclipse, please ensure glasses are secured for viewing (examples: tape, small binder clips, or other fasteners) for K-2 students. For safety, it is imperative that solar glasses remain on for all participants during the entire viewing of the solar eclipse
2) EVERY teacher is REQUIRED to escort their students outside and CAREFULLY monitor. Paras must assist with this.
-Kindergarten through 1st grade will sit in class groups on grass near apartment crosswalk with their blankets and towels. Teachers please be sure you can see all of your students. It is very important to actively monitor students during the entire time outside.
-2nd grade will sit in rows on sidewalk in the same area as K - 1st grades.
-3rd through 5th grades will sit in rows on map near playgroup in rear of school.
-Students should face towards the sun.
3) Children ARE NOT allowed to look up in the sky until they are seated in their area with their glasses on.
4) Students ARE NOT allowed to take their glasses off during the viewing of the eclipse and any time they are looking at the sun.
I would like all available staff members to assist with our younger students. Please report to the lobby area in front of Main Office at 1:45 p.m. Any Specials after 1:30 on Monday will be canceled. NO OUTDOOR RECESS will be allowed after 12:00 p.m. Any scheduled for after 12:00 p.m. should plan for indoor recess.
