Shadow Puppets


 The past few weeks, we have been learning about light and shadows. We learned about different objects that are translucent, transparent and opaque and which objects create shadows. We are now incorporating literacy into science.


Each group of students has planned out a play
script for their shadow puppet play, they have written a rough copy and have included dialogue in their script. They then had to have a conference with the teacher to go over their scripts and any kinks or edits.


Using what they have learned in Light and Shadows, they were then asked to figure out the best materials for making shadow puppets and how to create a shadow with their puppet.


Watch this space to see the final product!

We discussed what Belonging is and how we can show Belonging. Ask your students about what they think Belonging means and how we show it at Keeler School!

They were then given a number and had to represent that number using base ten blocks. They then had to create a place value chart in their notebook and draw their base ten blocks. Finally, they wrote their number from standard form to expanded form. Below are a few examples:
