Our story out of the textbook this week is about volcanoes. We had quite an interesting and lively discussion about the city of Pompeii and what happened there many many years ago. We also talked at length about Mount Saint Helen's in Washington State. here are some pictures of Mt. St. Helen's, Kilauea, and Mount Vesuvius. (Pompeii)
