Tracing

The light projector was a huge hit yesterday, so today the kids were offered the same materials, but this time they were also given markers and paper. 
"I'm going to draw the circles. Look I made a triangle!"
M started grouping the small disks into groups and circling them. 


M then moved over to the whiteboard and began the same kind of grouping and circling. 
As he used his marker to trace, but was having some difficulty doing so when his own shadow was getting in the way.

"I can't see it right now. The circle went away."


As he continued to draw he noticed that as he moved his body he was able to see the circles reappear. 
"I can see them now! I can try to get that spot again."


J was also working on tracing different circle creations, but she decided to match the color marker with the color disk that was being projected. 
"I am matching all the colors together! Look!"


J began tracing circle on the whiteboard, but realized she was unable to complete the tracing because her shadow was in the way. 
She shifted her body so that the light was able to pass over her shoulder and was able to see the colored disk once again. 
Success!

Families

Today our conversation regarding our skin color continued, but evolved a little bit. Instead of just talking about our own skin, the kids started talking about their families.  "Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!"  "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families.  "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
