Light

Before starting our morning meeting, B pointed to the wall and commented "shadow." He was noticing the light coming through the wall of windows. He got a little closer and exclaimed louder this time "shadow!"

Can we see our shadows without the sun? 

We headed to the gym with T stopped in front of the tunnel. He placed his hands over his eyes indicating it was dark in the tunnel. I asked if he needed some light and he answered "yes!"

We found some flashlights and brought them to the tunnel. 

"We can use these to see in the tunnel! We can see the monsters that are in there!"

T, C, & E picked up flashlights and began testing them out by shining them on one another, on the walls, and finally inside the tunnel. 

After a few rounds through the tunnel and watching each other with the flashlights, E shined the light on the wall.
"There's a shadow!"

E pointed his flashlight at the wall then pointed to the shadow the book shelf was making. 

"There's the shadow!"

The flashlights were fascinating. The kids realized they could make shadows using the flashlights and didn't necessarily need the sun to see shadows. 

"We can bring these in our room!"
"All the lights need to be off!"

"The windows have to be closed too!"

We prepped the room to be dark enough and let the kids explore.
