Exploring Shadows

This week in science we have been learning about light and shadows. We explored shadows with flashlights, and we observed our shadows outside. Below are some of the smart observations your children made.

• Shadows are shapes.
• Shadows move when an object moves.
• Shadows show outlines of objects.
• Shadows are made when light is blocked by something.
• Shadows are cooler than light.
• Shadows can change throughout the day.
• It is hard to see shadows when it's cloudy outside or dark.
• Shadows can be long or short.
• Many things make shadows.

We also got to spend some time with our third grade buddies from Mrs. Williams' class this week learning about Habit 6, Synergize. We practiced synergizing to make puzzles and play board games together. The kindergarteners and third graders both love spending time with their buddies. It is so much fun to watch them together!
