The Ultimate Astronomy Classroom Experience

Funded Aug 13, 2021

Thank you so much for choosing to fund my humble project! I have already started the room transformation project with your help! I have hung up some of the black out curtains, and they do a great job blocking out the light from entering into our room. With some additional thought (and some very creative children!) I have decided to further expand the project. I am working with my Astronomy classes to essentially make a scale accurate model of the night sky (as is visible in Alexandria, Virginia) on the ceiling of our classroom. This will take a lot more work and materials, but it is going to be something that my classes and I will be proud of having.

As we complete each additional step in this project, I can't help but realize that this is all possible thanks to your kind and generous donations. It is already changing the way my students are connecting with the course content, and providing them an irreplaceable learning experience. In the future as my students come into my room they will be amazed and astounded by what the night sky has to offer them as they get more and more of a chance to experience the wonders of space within the confines of our small little classroom in Alexandria.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for all of the incredible experiences your donations will bring my students, and the memories that will last a life time.”

With gratitude,

Mr. DeSain
