Today At Adams

Learning Places
Today I came in late just as the Van was about to leave for Adams. I woke up late and it was all my fault but I wont make that mistake again. Ill come on time for the rest of the summer. But anyways Today I went at Adams not knowing what we will do but it turned out just fine. First we started off with an optical illusion form a printed out piece of paper. They wrote down what they observed and what happened in the optical illusion. Later, after the optical illusion, we went outside and measured the childrens' height. After that they traced their shadow with a piece of chalk and measured their shadows. They wrote down what they observed and saw that their shadows were sorter than them and came to the conclusion, with our help, that the suns position in the sky has a lot to do with it. After that we came back inside and did an activity on transparent items and solid colored items. That activity showed them that light goes through transparent items and doesnt go through solid colored object. Overall I think that they enjoyed and learned what we taught them today.

Ariel, Good work with the children today and it's nice to see such a thorough blog, so good work with that too. Make sure that alarm goes off tomorrow morning though so that you get here on time, but I'm sure you'll take care of that. Other than that, we'll plan on having a good day around here tomorrow so keep working hard.
