My Shadow

Today we started a unit called "My Shadow".  Tomorrow I am going to teach them a song that I found on youtube about shadows: http://youtube.com/watch?v=9ne6J0aXvfs.  I hope they like it!  Today we talked about how shadows work and we did an art project.  After writing "My shadow" on the top, they colored a paper with a tree and a sun on it.  The other kinder teachers had the students use black water colors to paint a shadow, but I don't have enough black water colors, so I had them cut out a shadow out of black paper.  They really like cutting paper!  They had fun with it :)
