    WEEK OF January  30, 2023

    We are excited to start a New Unit of Study: LIGHT

    Unit Topic:  What kinds of light are around us?
    Essential Question:  How and why do we use different kinds of light?.

    In this unit, children have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of natural and manufactured sources of light. Activities throughout the unit prompt children to explore light, darkness and shadows with hands on materials as well as provide opportunities for children to make predictions and think about their world in increasingly abstract ways.
     Children begin by considering the first question 
    ​​​​​​- What kinds of light are around us? Children will observe, discuss and explore what they know about natural and manufactured light.
    - In second week, children will have learning experiences and explore activities that encourage them to think about darkness.
    - In third week, children focus on the question  " How does light help us?
    - In the final week, children explore shadows by using flashlights and other light sources in the classroom as well as experimenting with
