Learning About Light

Today, we read continued to explore light.  We read two books.  One was fiction, "Nothing Sticks Like a Shadow" and the other was non-fiction, "All About Light".  We learned the terms transparent, translucent and opaque (but we thought it was pretty funny to call it "oh pancake"....which actually helps us remember that opaque means that light can't pass through it....just like a pancake!)  Then we went on a little walk around the school with our iPads and looked for things that were transparent, translucent and opaque.  This was our introduction to these concepts.  I challenged the kids to look around at home and see if they can find one example of each.  

We also had a lockdown drill today.  The kids did an excellent job staying quiet and still.  It was very quick and went well.

Tomorrow is T sharing day.
