Earth Day - Book Recommendation

I recommend the book called Our Planet - Change is Possible by the Myspace Community for Earth Day. It is advertised as a "complete how-to guide to saving the environment".

I found it very easy to read with lots of short ideas, suggestions, and facts broken up so it is not overwhelming. One can easily pick it up and skim through areas of interest and not have to read it cover-to-cover (but it is still interesting to read cover-to-cover). I keep it in my car and if I am going someplace where I have to sit and wait without reading material I can grab it.

I would highly recommend the purchase for any teachers classroom (from upper elementary to high school).

Astronomy Projects and Potluck

Below, under separate blog posts, you will find four astronomy projects that the fourth grade students at Mossy Oaks Elementary School put together in celebration of the International Year of Astronomy.

To showcase these projects and telescopes that the students made, as part of a grant received by the Northern Beaufort County Public Education Foundation, the fourth grade team hosted a family potluck.

The original plan was to have members of the Oglethorpe Astronomical Association join us with their larger telescopes but sadly it rained all day and night. Despite the bad weather we were thrilled with the turn out of students and parents (over 100 folks in attendance).

The feedback we received from parents and students was overwhelmingly postive and we hope to do something similar in the future.
