  1. When my son came back from school on this day, he was excited and explained about sun, earth, and moon. He even asked us if we knew the earth goes around the sun. He said he liked the lab and it was very interesting. Both my husband and I are glad that he seemed he really enjoyed the lab. Thank you, Mr. Gantt!!
