Default Teaching astronomy to 6-9 yr olds

A friend of mine is a teacher at a Montesorri school, teaching 6-9 year-olds. Someone donated a telescope to the class and she sent me a picture to identify it. I believe it's a Tasco Galaxsee. Unfortunately she doesn't know a lot about telescopes so she's looking for ideas on how to take advatage of this donation to teach the kids about astronomy/telescopes. Given the ages of the kids a night-time session probably won't work. Does anyone have any thoughts or helpful links?

I'll be away for a week so I'll check back then. I'll also let her know about the thread and see if she'll sign-up to the BABB, or at the very least to check on the thread.
