Kaboom! Volcanoes and Lava Galore!
Funded Nov 13, 2024Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our volcano project! The students were absolutely thrilled to explore the fascinating world of volcanoes through the books you donated, which sparked their curiosity and deepened their understanding of this natural phenomenon. The highlight of our learning experience was watching the model volcano erupt—an unforgettable moment that brought science to life in a truly exciting way! Your support not only provided valuable resources but also created joyful and engaging memories for our students. We are so grateful for your generosity and the difference it made in their learning journey.
All week long, students buzzed with excitement every time they walked into the library and saw the model volcano proudly on display. They couldn't wait for the big moment, eagerly counting down the days until they would finally see it erupt! We expanded the classic baking soda and vinegar experiment by hypothesizing that increasing the surface area of the baking soda would create a more dramatic reaction. To test this, we crushed the baking soda into a fine powder before adding it to the vinegar, resulting in a faster and more intense eruption.
Our next exciting unit is our One Book, One School initiative, where the entire school will come together to read *The Mouse and the Motorcycle*. This shared reading experience will not only promote literacy and build a sense of community but also inspire kindness and giving. As part of the unit, we will embark on a school-wide community service project to collect supplies for our local animal shelter, teaching students the value of helping others while fostering a love for reading. We can't wait to see the impact this unit will have on our students and community!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Durbin
