We have had a great week! It definitely helps that the weather has been great and we only have 2 more weeks of school left! WooHoo! Anyway, this week the kids have really enjoyed doing our little mini unit on volcanoes. I had thought that we would wrap this up in a week, but not so much. Looks like we will be finishing up our study of volcanoes and our lapbooks next week. You can take a look at this post to see how we started our week with our KWL chart. The next day we got to actually erupt our volacnoes.
After this, we did a little activity for our lapbooks about "What is inside a volcano?" The kids really thought this was cool!
Here is our in progress lapbook. The flip page at the top is a map with US states with active volcanoes. (Sidenote - Almost each website I looked at listed different states for this. I finally just decided on discussing the states that made all or most of the webpages that I researched.)
Don't forget to visit Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers to see what all the other weird homeschoolers have been up to this week! :-)
You inspire me and encourage me with your weekly wrap-ups!! Thank you for posting them. I appreciate it!

Those look like fantastic lapbooks. I'll have to tuck that idea away for next year…
ReplyDeleteI bet your homeschool is so fun! With three boys, you really have a "class!" Most of our stuff is just done with Ethan right now ... next year, Eli will start K, so that will be fun! ;)
