Transparent and Opaque

Yes, we do have the smartest and best problem solving preschool students EVER! We finally figured out why some shadows are colorful and some are black. We even learned the vocabulary to talk about these like VERY smart children. "The light can shine through some of them!" I about(maybe I did) did the happy dance when one little lady shouted this out! YES, we figured it out! After handing each student an object, they had to decide if it was transparent or opaque and then test it out on the overhead projector. It was such a fun journey watching them learn about shadows and light and we are not finished yet! Shadows have taken us into rainbows and color mixing and now learning new vocabulary to talk about them. Enjoy some fun pictures from the beginning of our week.

We have also had A LOT of birthdays this week! It is so much fun watching all these little miracles grow and learn.
