Hi I just got back from the BEST eclipse party with the kids at Durango Elementary, my faith in the future is restored.
- Someone made “eclipse cookies” which are sable cookies with a dark center and a pale crescent or corona, good job PTA Mom Jennifer
- Kids were SO HYPE for the eclipse, and were thrilled to explain it over and over to me
- Great grasp of orbital physics for a bunch of 5-10 year olds
- Someone’s dad brought in a theremin?
- The whole school is space-themed this week.
- I watched a 4th-grader give a presentation on abiogenesis and how different planets may have things like nitrogen-beased lifeforms and holy fuck that was rally cool???
- I think it;s the theremin-dad’s kid.
- Bless the small child trying to hold his glasses up to the iguana so he could see it too.
- Also bless all the teachers in FMA/Little Shop of Horrors/Avatar shirts.
- Kids had a great time , Adults had a good time, everyone had a great time.
- Like really, I believe in the post-millenials . They can make Starfleet Happen.
