The children have been talking nonstop about the eclipse. Today's activities were inspired by the children's interest in the eclipse.
The children shared their eclipse experience.
“With our glasses and not with our eyes because it is very not safe. We need just our glasses on the eclipse. We have a camera. It is close and then the moon. There is light and no light.” – Aaron.
“When it gets really full and you wear the glasses, it kind of looks like a planet.” – Leon
“You wear the glasses and can only look up when you wear the glasses because it can hurt your eyes. It keeps getting darker and it got a little bit colder. When it was all the way full, when you looked up, it was just dark.” – Millie
“I was at home and watching the eclipse. I was just looking up and the sky. My mom said only look up with glasses and I did it so many times.” – Gabby
“It felt like it was nighttime, but it was actually daytime. First, the moon was covering the moon for a little bit and then more and more and more until all the way. Then, it was all the way dark. When you take off your glasses when it is all the way covered, that is fine. When it starts to go back, you put on your glasses. It is safe when the moon is covering all the way.” – Hillel
“When totality was there, me and Magnus ran around the yard and shouted “Totality rocks!” – Renn
“A family was near my house watching the eclipse in a park near my house. I did watch the eclipse. We could only take off our glasses when we were looking down. My daddy was walking home from school when the eclipse was. He was walking (arms shielding eyes) the whole way because he did not have glasses.” – Rochel
“When I was putting my glasses, I liked it. We looked up and saw the sun yellow. We were walking around having popsicles. I liked it.” – Olivia
“I saw that the sun turned into a crescent. When it was dark, I saw Jupiter and Venus. There was also the moon. I used my glasses because I wanted to look at the sun. We also packed some food and drinks. I saw a little bit of stars too. My mommy said, “When the sun comes up, you have to put on your glasses.” – Sammy
“I saw the moon and it was kind of yellowish orange. I could not look up without my glasses because if I did not then I would go blind. First, it was night time and it came back to morning time real fast.” – Jane
“When we look up in the sky, you need to wear glasses because it is not safe. I saw the moon. When we were going inside the house, the house was dark because the sky was dark. You need to wear special glasses. Also, I got the special glasses from Chabad. I watched at my house in the backyard. The sun was on a different side. That is why you need to look at the side that it was.” - Chai
