April, 2024

 

Turner Creek Elementary School students were treated to an exciting science lesson about solar eclipses. From kindergarten to fifth grade, students participated in hands-on activities to learn about this event. With Play-Doh and flashlights, model planets, and homemade pinhole viewers, the students eagerly prepared for the April 8 solar eclipse. Finally, on the big day, the whole school went outside, armed with solar glasses and viewers, to witness the remarkable celestial event.
