November 4th 2021 we presented an outreach program for the Salome Arizona Elementary School.
The host teacher was Moniqa Raval who worked out the details for the location and time of the event. Moniqa invited 3 other grades to join us. We setup a telescope to view the Sun using special filters along with a hands one learning tool consisting of a pencil stuck into a ping-pong ball. The students would hold the pencil at arm’s length, and then standing in one spot would walk in a circle watch the shadow appear on the ball. This represents the phases of the moon. The teachers and their class where:
1st Grade: 5 students – Mrs. Gemma Gomez
2nd Grade: 8 students – Mrs. Julie Penrod
3rd Grade: 5 students: Mrs. Moniqa Raval-Marino
4th Grade: 8 students – Mrs. Chiqui Asco
Mrs. Alicia Pantoja assistant.
The students are looking forward to our visit in 2022.
