What an eventful day!!

We started off the morning with a visit from the Explorium! We have these in school field trips once a month. Today the focus was on forces and motion- Ms. K brought us lots of "toys" to play with so we could explore science concepts. We also had science for our special class today and we got to create electricity!
During math time we learned about a webiste called Tutpup. Ms. D found out about this from our friends in Australia, and we absolutely loved it! It is a math website where you get to play math games with other kids all around the world. We versed Argentina, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and kids in the United States as well. A couple of us even got paired up with other kids in our classroom! (Moms and Dads- if you want their login information so they can play at home just let Ms. D know!)
Since it is Friday, five of us got to have lunch in the classroom for Lunch Bunch. Macey's dad ate with us because he was here to help with math tiles. We also took some more pictures for our lunch exchange project. We are really enjoying that! There are so many foods eaten in Australia that we had never heard of! The Smarties also asked us some really interesting questions about our lunches. Apparently they do not have goldfish crackers there, and they call ketchup "tomato sauce."
At the end of the day, we got to go to the gym to see the play "The Red Badge of Courage." This was put on by the local children's theatre and we thought it was pretty cool.
