Today we talked about he lunar eclipse that happened yesterday evening.  We also watched a short time lapse video of the lunar eclipse.

This morning we talked about our wonderful weekends.  It sure sounds like we were all quite busy.  Glad to see so many of you made it out to the Fall Fair.  Fingers crossed that someone from our classroom wins the new car.

This morning during Writer's Workshop we learned to use Sentence Starters.  Here is a list of the ones that we have used so far:  Suddenly right before my eyes....., Looking closely I noticed......, I was surprised to see......, I stared at. If you can think of any more awesome sentence starters please post on the blog and we will add them to our list.

We had music this morning!

After lunch we worked on calendar activities and then we had math.  We reviewed some old math games and then we learned about subtraction.  Our goal is to learn to connect addition and subtraction.  We played a fun mystery subtraction game.  Please have your child talk to you about this game as it can easily be played at home.

After math we went to gym and we learned 3 new exercises: cross jacks, plank jacks and trunk twists.  Please have your child demonstrate these 3 exercises.

At the end of the day we played senses bingo.  I read a story to the class and each time they heard a description that used one of their senses they had to cover it up on their bingo card.

Question of the day?  Please post your answers on the blog.

What is the answer to a subtraction question called?
