I get to spend three days with the telescopes and planetarium at the Yale University Leitner Observatory. "Excited" doesn't even come close to describing how I feel about this.
It also comes with some perks: free money, plus a membership to the Yale-Peabody Museum (the original dinosaurs, people) multiple field trips with bus costs, planetarium shows and museum admission covered for all of my classes. But that's, like, not even the best part.
TELESCOPES. Have you seen their telescopes? Yes! I am especially interested in learning how to build a scope/viewer that will let me and my students observe sunspots (and future eclipses). I have no idea if they will teach me how to do it, but I'm going to ask.
This is WAY COOL Rebecca! I've very jealous. It's a good time to be going to middle school.
