DISCOVERY: making imprints into play dough with lots of little figurines to give them an idea of how things were found when Pompeii was discovered
LITERATURE: "Pompeii...Buried Alive!" By Edith Kunhardt (a Step 4 reader)
We discussed that this is how we know so much about how the Romans lived long ago. We also talked about how scientists can follow volcanic activity very closely in order to warn people of any impending danger.
PROJECT: making a volcano out of model magic and "exploding" our own volcanoes with vinegar and baking soda
MUSIC: sang some rhythm songs and began learning our new end of the year song!
