🌋 We had a great first day of our Natural Disasters unit with 4th grade! Today we kicked things off by learning all about volcanoes and some new volcanic vocabulary.

The students had so much fun building their own volcano models, and they turned out AMAZING! 🌋 They were so creative and really got into it.

Ask your 4th grader: What new volcanic vocabulary word did you learn today? And can you explain what it means? 👀
