Shadows!

We have only had a couple days of our shadow study and the students are blowing my mind with their learning! We started by finding out what they already know and we got things such as, shadows happen at night, I make shadow animals on the wall...by Tuesday afternoon, I recorded them telling me that shadows can move, you need light to make a shadow, a shadow is made from the sun, if the clouds are out, we can't see our shadow, and so much more! WOW! On Tuesday morning we took the students outside and traced their shadows with chalk and then returned 2.5 hours later, stood in the same spot and realized that our shadows were in a different spot. Now, to find out why...I simply LOVE the curiosity!


Enjoy some pictures from the beginning of our study and keep stopping by to see what we are learning! We will be measuring shadows tomorrow and writing in our journal about our shadow outside. :)
