On Monday, April 8th, millions of Americans witnessed a total solar eclipse! Did you know there won’t be another one to cross North America from coast to coast until 2045? We did some fun activities to build our knowledge of this upcoming event, watch the total solar eclipse from NASA, as well as view that start of the eclipse right here in Shapleigh! What an amazing learning experience for all.
