Tell me something good 3 Eclipse and circles

Something quick and easy:
Here was a last minute idea I did inspired by the latest eclipse event.
I printed a yellow circle and a black circle (with a yellow).  The children practiced their cutting of the black circle and glued it slightly covering the yellow (sun).  
We watched the live streaming of the progression of the moon covering the sun.  Of course their understanding and patience waned so we busied ourselves with this cutting activity.  Ever so often, I pointed out how the yellow curve was growing smaller and then larger.  

 Actually, it was an activity that we did just before inside recess.  (Inside recess was a new experience for them so they had to learn about this new procedure.)
I was also able to introduce our Science standard about what can be seen in a day sky and a night sky.
