Today was an exciting day we learned all about volcano's! We learned that a volcano is a mountain that is hallow with a pool of molten rock (lava) inside. When pressure builds up inside the volcano lava heats up and flows out of the hole on the top. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down and burn entire forest, and cause other natural disasters. Its not safe to live near a volcano.
Today during art we discussed what it might be like to live near a volcano. We made our very own "Dino Land!" We colored the background and made a volcano. We encouraged the children to make up their very own dinosaur story. We let the children pick a tiny Dino to play with inside their Dino land.

Today we also played heel to toe. We taped 5 papers together in a line, and learned that it was 52 inches long. We learned that a T-Rex's foot was 52 inches long from heel to toe. The children were able to count how many footsteps (heel to toe) it would take them get across the Dino's footprint.
We played a game called fallow the tracks. We placed our volcano's on the floor and took pieces of paper and made a path around them and took turns making it through the dangerous volcano's!
Show and Tell!
The kids were so excited to show everyone what they brought in from home! Each child told a story about their item. Then the children got to ask any question they wanted. Needless to say they all loved it!
