Yes, quite so. It will be interesting to observe how, over the period of the equinox, the noon shadow (what there is of it) will shift from north to south, or vis versa.
In the whole process, don’t let kids loose track of basic phenomenon–the shift is due to the Earth maintaining the same degree and direction of tilt as it orbits the sun.
