"Light is...you know where light comes from? It comes from the sun." - Adaline, 4.0 years
Group #2 - George, Caroline, Will, Win, and Christopher "The sun is always outside, but it moves in Blake Hall like a person moves like feet. I see shadows!" - George, 4.1 years "I can see shadows on top of ourselves and there's shadows on the floor." - Caroline, 3.4 years What's creating the shadows? - Elyse "Light and darkness. You know why I think that because there's no light, but there's darkness, and real darkness...and over there is darkness and over here is light and darkness and if it's only darkness we can't see our shadows. If there's light and darkness you can see our shadows." - George "But if there's light, we can! I have my shadow already right in my arms." - Caroline How will we use our observations to decorate the windows?"The only way to decorate the window is by putting our bodies very close to the window and then you can see our shadow. We can stick pretend people to the window." - George Which materials or tools would we use to create them? "Sticks, wire, metal, straw, and wood. You know how to stick it to the window? With very strong glue. And we can hang them. Then it will stay onto the window." - George "Paper." - Win If we use Win's idea of paper or George's idea of wire, how would we know it's a shadow? - Elyse "Bend it [wire and paper]" - Caroline "I know! You could shape it like a shadow." - George Drawing as a tool for reflection on our small groups

We cannot wait to get started on our ideas for the book fair decor - we will certainly share more about this during Classroom Stories Night, on the blog after Classroom Stories Night, and know that you are always welcome to look around at the materials set up during drop-off. Classroom Stories Night and the BlogIn anticipation of Classroom Stories Night, we will be dedicating our afternoon teacher work time to preparing the presentation and materials for this evening to share with all of you.
Therefore, we will not be posting our typical blogs over the course of the next week. We thank you for your understanding and cannot wait to share more of the classroom work with all of you very soon!
