How does your noontime shadow change throughout the year?
The specifics change depending on the latitude in question, but the noontime shadow will become shorter as the sun's direct rays of incidence approach the latitude in question and longer as the sun's direct rays of incidence recede from that latitude. For example, if you live at 45 degrees North, your shortest shadow will be on the summer solstice, since the sun's direct rays of incidence are at 23.5 degrees North on that day and will be south of that position on all other days. Conversely, if you live at the equator, your shortest shadows will be on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, since the sun is directly overhead on those days.

My classroom is at a latitude of approximately 27.947 degrees North. How many days per year is the sun directly above the classroom?
Never. The Sun can only be directly overhead (90 deg altitude) at latitudes between 23.5 deg N and 23.5 deg S. The Sun is directly overhead at a latitude of 23.5 deg N on the summer solstice. On that day it would be at its highest point in the sky for an observer at 27.947 deg N (about 85.553 deg above S horizon), but it would not be directly overhead.
