How Can You Make Your Shadow Move?

The Pine kids continued to explore their shadows and light a little deeper today. While on our walk around the neighborhood, some of them realized we weren't able to see our shadows. 

"The sun isn't out so we can't see them!"

"It needs to come out so our shadows come out."
"Your shadow is just you! It's like you but on the ground."

As we continued on our walk, E exclaimed, "My shadow is back!" 

He danced around excitedly and started walking with his legs out wide and arms spread out. 

"My shadow is right here. It's walking!"

The others gazed down at the ground and noticed their shadows were also walking with them. 

"They came back out because the sun is out!"
"The shadows do what you do."

Back in the room, we wondered how else can we make our shadows move. 

F had an idea... how about jumping? 

Could we make our shadows dance too?

The kids watched as their shadows moved when they did. They made both big and small motions with their bodies noticing how the shadows being cast made the same fluid movements. 

It's been so fun exploring movement with light!
