My Project

On April 8, 2024, there will be a total solar eclipse. I would like to provide my students and their families with glasses to view this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Glasses are needed to safely observe the eclipse. In addition, I am asking for a book to use as a read-aloud to provide students and their families with some prior knowledge before we observe the eclipse.

New York State is one of eleven states which is in the path of totality.

Though New York City isn't in the path of totality we will still see 89% coverage. Please help me turn this event into a teaching experience for my students.
