Hanson's Ridge
I was going to be cheesy and quote the lyrics of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" but it would be more like "83% Eclipse of the Heart" which isn't quite the same thing. Technically, we are on break here, but we couldn't ignore the solar eclipse! We made paper plate masks with our solar eclipse glasses. I'm so glad we did, because they really did a better job protecting the kids' eyes (and I actually liked using mine better than the plain glasses because it layered better over my regular glasses.
I'm so glad we got the glasses and were able to look up. I did make a pinhole viewer but looking up was so much more satisfying. We kept CE in the shade so she wouldn't accidentally looked up. It was fun seeing how the eclipse affected shadows on the ground. After thunder started rumbling, we came inside and drew pictures of the solar eclipse.
