Volcano Day

Today was volcano day for the third graders. We have worked hard on ours. It was built of chicken wire, paper mache and plaster. We did an eruption with black gun powder and a fuse. It shot a bucket out of the top filled with candy...it flew up in the air about 50 ft! It was awesome! Here it is...erupting! The boys loved it!


The entire third grade class ran out on the field to get fireballs and fire jolly ranchers. Some of them complained that they tasted like smoke or got a little burnt. Oh well!
Here is Tyler's class with Mr. B. This, of course, is the goofy shot. There is a normal one too, but I didn't want to bore you with it.
This is Mr. B. One of the coolest teachers ever! He was the start of this volcano day. He is retiring this year unfortunately. We will sure miss him!

AWESOME! We've been waiting for these pictures. What fun parents to go to this much trouble and to shoot out CANDY for everyone! The boys will always remember it. Thank goodness you only had to do one volcano though. Where's Tanner and his class?
