Good Morning All,
\nI hope the long weekend was good to you. \u00a0We have a 4 day week this week, and then a nice long Thanksgiving Break. \u00a0A joke to start the day (related to note number 9 below): Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut? \u00a0He just needed a little space.<\/p>\n

Our portable, inflatable planetarium will come right to your location and dazzle your budding astronomers as they are taken on a tour of the solar system.\u00a0Students will enter the dome and be introduced to a “star filled” sky. Our navigator with the use of a digital planetarium projector will guide students through the night sky.\u00a0Students will learn how to identify every planet in our solar system in dramatic “flights” towards each world. They will be introduced to mythological characters and see how these heroes of the past can be found in the stars.<\/em><\/p>\n 10)<\/strong> If you are planning on having Brad join your class for a field trip as an extra adult, please discuss with me at least 1 week in advance so I can be sure to cover his duties while he is away. \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\n Here’s to a great week ahead! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good Morning All, I hope the long weekend was good to you. \u00a0We have a 4 day week this week, and then a nice long Thanksgiving Break. \u00a0A joke to start the day (related to note number 9 below): Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut? \u00a0He just needed a little space.
