V is for Volcano
Feb
We thought it would be fun to talk about Volcanos to go along with our letter of the week. So we read some books and looked at pictures and then made our own.
We mixed:
3 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
2 tbsp of cooking oil
water
We formed our volcano around an empty yogurt container.
Hailey decided to paint her volcano brown.
Once everything was dry we made our volcano erupt. We mixed:
2 spoonfuls of baking soda
1 spoonful of dish soap
red and yellow food coloring
and when we were ready to set it off- we added the vinegar
(Rich thought it would be fun to mix all of those things together inside a water bottle and then hold his finger over the top while the pressure built up. Let’s just say it erupted like what an actual volcano probably does and the kitchen was a mess!)
We also started doing the Raising Rock Stars Preschool letter of the week activities that I found over at 1+1+1=1.
Hailey coloring her verse for the week. The letter V was kind of a hard letter to start with- the verse was hard for her to remember.
Then she colored and cut her One Way sign.
And read the One Way book.
Letter of the Week- Letter V
Jul
We have not been around much lately as we are doing some work on our new house and preparing to move in. We only had time to get one activity done this week. Our letter this week was the letter V and we made a V is for Volcano craft.
Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, glue, scissors, marker
Make a large “V” and a whole bunch of little “V”s.
Glue the V onto the construction paper.
Add the little “V”s- and try to make them look like the lava coming out of the volcano.
The completed Volcano V.
