11:34:16 From Susan Button to Everyone: Yes, Jeff!!!

11:34:40 From Anna Hurst, ASP to Everyone: ASP would love to offer an adapted version of our My Sky Tonight training tailored to planetariums. We’re looking forward to our discussion here to learn more about what you need in that regard

11:35:30 From Mary Holt to Everyone: Watching other people is soooo helpful

11:35:38 From Erin Steinert [she/her(s)] to Everyone: Reacted to "Watching other peopl..." with 👍🏻

11:36:26 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: I always tried to make sure new presenters would watch as many other presenters as possible.

11:36:27 From Anna Hurst, ASP to Everyone: National Association for the Education of Young Children has some really helpful resources on working with young children in developmentally appropriate ways: https://www.naeyc.org/

11:36:51 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: Reacted to "Watching other peopl..." with 👍

11:37:28 From Jeff Nee to Everyone: I’ve got to run,  but I’m always happy to help anyone with staff PD!  Jnee@jpl.nasa.gov

11:38:53 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: It’s also much different when you have a whole classroom filled with kids you’re trying to keep engaged!

11:39:42 From Anna Hurst, ASP to Everyone: Breakfast Moon IS on the long side for a children’s story book. That’s because we wanted to include enough days of the lunar cycle and remain as astronomically accurate as possible while still being an engaging story. We did our best to shorten it. But it does take 15-20 minutes to read depending on how interactive you make it

11:44:39 From Briana Ingermann (she/her) to Everyone: It seems like the jam board is view only

thanks

12:02:04 From JT Towne to Everyone: Carlos, to make the portable (or any) dome more friendly for kids to enter, try fun music (not too loud) and also (colorful/cartoony) images on the dome that come and go during walk-in ie: clouds, planes, happy sun, kid's drawings, etc.

12:03:10 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: Reacted to "Carlos, to make the ..." with 👍

12:07:35 From Mary Holt to Everyone: Yeah "what do you notice" is something we ask a lot

12:08:07 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: Reacted to "Yeah "what do you no..." with 👍

12:09:01 From Anna Hurst, ASP to Everyone: For anyone who might need to leave soon, here’s our survey. We’d appreciate it if you could take a few moments to fill it in to inform any resources ASP develops to support you all in reaching preschool kids https://forms.gle/E5kLX4gmnn3kCbCZ9

12:09:08 From Susan Button to Everyone: with the portable dome I walk them around the dome and touch it...talking about what they see. Lift the side and peek under to glimpse a bit of what is inside

12:11:05 From AWalsh to Everyone: That’s a great idea Carlos

12:11:26 From Erin Steinert [she/her(s)] to Everyone: Gotta run to set up for another field trip! Thanks so much, I look forward to watching the recording for anything I missed/will miss!

12:17:46 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: Learn by doing. Watching others is great, but eventually you need to take the mic.

12:19:33 From Thaddeus Papke (he/him) to Everyone: I always tried to give presenters a safety net for their first shows. Get them in front of kids, but have an experienced presenter there for support.
