Caught up in eclipse mania?? Get your last-minute links here!
Our family has been ogling the eclipse info for years, planning … waiting … hoping. And today is the day! We are lucky to live near the path of totality, so we are all excited, glasses (& themed tees) on, waiting & watching.
While I wait, I’m sharing with you some of the lessons that we are learning at our on-the-road homeschool today. Enjoy!
