“Just walking out… the feeling was magical. It felt like with everything going on in the world, it felt like a magical experience that I am so blessed to have seen,” Debbie Jeneault, a fifth grade science teacher at Chestnut Elementary School in Liverpool, said.
Debbie has been teaching an entire science unit on navigating the night sky. Her students have used compasses and created sundials, but what was not on the original lesson plan was the northern lights dazzling the night sky the very same week.
“The students came in this morning with excitement, saying we saw the northern lights with my family! It was so wonderful and so it was just great to know that they’re having that passion and continued learning at home,” Jeneault said.
