One of my favorite non-profit organizations to work with is DreamWakers. They operate on the belief that “if you can see it, you can be it.” Their mission is to use free and existing video technology (e.g., Google Hangouts) to connect professionals working in any/all fields to classrooms across the country. They work specifically with 4th - 12th grade classes at schools where 50% or more of the student body is eligible for free or reduced lunches.
Seeing as how this Earth plushy is all over the internet thanks to the Space X launch yesterday, today seemed like the perfect time for my “Sunday Selfie” post featuring my very own Celestial Buddies. In addition to Earth, I also have the Sun and the Moon (not pictured), and I love to use them whenever I talk to kids because they are not only adorable but they make excellent teaching tools as well. And really, who doesn’t want to hug the planet every now and then?
Of course, with all the press its been getting, the Earth is now sold out, but as Emily tweeted: there’s also the bigger and better Precious Earth version - grab one while they last!
These photos are from before the August 2017 solar eclipse, hence the Earth and Sun making a guest appearance. Also captured is my “Perfect Alignment” necklace by Eclectic Eccentricity. ;)
