April 4th, 2024-CLEVELAND, Ohio-Seventh-grade student Henry Cohen and his classmates at Cleveland’s Riverside School engaged in activities related to the upcoming total solar eclipse in April. They danced to the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” while learning about the eclipse’s significance. Second-graders also participated, enjoying activities like decorating eclipse viewing glasses and creating dioramas depicting the Earth, moon, and sun.
Henry expressed his excitement for the eclipse, describing space as a “cool mystery” and appreciating the rare opportunity to witness the event. Schools in areas near the eclipse’s path organized educational lessons and group viewings to enhance students’ understanding of science, literacy, and culture. Even schools slightly outside the path of totality, like the one in Portville, New York, planned trips for students to experience the eclipse’s full effect, taking them to a location where they could observe the eclipse’s shadow passing over.
