On April 8, the Moon will completely block the face of the sun and the sky will darken for a few seconds as people in the US, Mexico and Canada are treated to a total solar eclipse.
Some schools are thinking of closing for the day so people can watch the eclipse, with many places holding events in local parks and outdoor spaces.
We would like to hear from parents in the US about their plans to watch the eclipse with their children. What do you and your child(ren) plan to do that day? Will school be closed? Will you attend an event or watch from the comfort of your home?
