The NWFAA was honored when we were invited to give an astronomy presentation to the 3rd and 4th grade classes of Bob Sikes Elementary School. The 3rd grade was studying the solar system. We were able to get a copy of their science book and tailor our solar system presentation to their curriculum. In support of the presentation, Tom Haugh brought his 6″ classical Newtonian telescope and provided September star charts to the teachers to hand out to the students.
We would like to thank the teachers and staff of Bob Sikes Elementary School for inviting us and for the warm welcome and support we received. We would also like to thank the students for their attentiveness and excellent questions after the discussion. We look forward to a future night time star gaze for the students.
