Volcano Day!

One of Jack & Grace's favorite songs is called Old St. Helen by Billy Jonas. Since we are frequently singing and dancing to this song about a volcano I thought it would be fun for Jack & Grace to learn more about them. Today was designated volcano day! First thing this morning Jack & Grace worked together to make this volcano picture. Grace painted the base of the volcano brown while singing, "Wo, wo, wo, the lava's gonna flow. Wo, wo wo, the mountain's gonna blow....." Jack helped to shred the yellow and red tissue paper to make lava while smiling the whole time. Great job, Jack! Grace later glued the tissue paper to the top of the volcano to create the lava.

Science Experiment!

Grace put baking soda and red food coloring in a small bowl. Grace then poured in vinegar to make lava!
ERUPT!

This science activity was a big hit and Grace ended up making at least fifteen lava explosions.

Later this morning Jack, Grace, and I visited our library to check out books about volcanoes. We spent the remainder of our morning looking at the volcano books, making more lava explosions, and dancing to Old St. Helen!
