Exeter Chamber Children's Fund Final Count

I am so proud of 4-Estle for rasing $94.39 for the Exeter Chamber Children's Fund. 

I matched this donation, and our class total was $188.78. 

As a school we raised about $1,800! 

This money will go towards helping local children get 

warm clothing, jackets, and bedding for the winter. 

Thank you for all of your support!

Slide Layout:

Slide 1 - Name of Volcano, Your Name

Slide 2 - Introduction (Type, size, description)

Slide 3 - Location

Slide 4 - Eruption (Famous eruption, when, first signs, damage)

Slide 5 - 5 Interesting Facts

Slide 6 - Pictures of the volcano

Slide 7 - Bibliography

Paper Mache Volcano:

Please keep the size manageable for the students to transport. A tinfoil pie plate or lasagna pan, a shoe box or other disposable container with sides works best to keep the “lava” contained. One thing to keep in mind is that often times the students want to use large containers to build their volcanoes around, but these are usually the ones that don’t “erupt” because the reaction does not reach the top. Pint size bottles or smaller works best.
