Materials

Play these videos in the Technology Center on the days indicated:

Shadow Play (9:00)

Peep, Quack, and Chirp discover their shadows—then use them to teach Tom (that trouble-making cat!) a lesson.

Day 2

Night Light (9:00)

Afraid that the sun has forgotten to rise, Peep and Quack are relieved when they discover a flashlight.

Day 4

Shadow Tracing (1:30)

The kids trace shadows inside on paper and outside on the driveway to make pictures.

Directions

Add the videos on the days indicated. The PEEP episodes, live-action videos, and online games should be made available after children have been introduced to them in a Morning Circle activity. Based on the recommendations of NAEYC and the American Pediatric Association, the Technology Center should only be used by children older than two.
