Our Unschool adventure was all about volcanoes. We started off by imagining that Ursula escaped from a Volcano called Ursula jail or Erta Ale, located near the red sea. That’s the first thing Munchy said when I read the name of the volcano.

Our science packet came from magic school bus on volcanoes. So Rubber Ducky thought the girls should do a little report before we jumped into the science stuff. The girls watched magic school bus on volcanoes, looked up facts on the Internet and then did video. Munchy’s was a news report about how Ursula escaped and incorporated her facts into the video – really funny. Belle did a great job on her facts with a little help from Mom.

Camping indoors is the best kind of camping…. No bugs, rain, wind, large meat eating animals, it’s not too hot or too cold, and there is a real potty. The best part of camping indoors in there are NO BUGS, and it’s fun!!!!!!

We put up our small 2 man (2 little girl) tent up in the living room. The girls love it so much they have slept in it every night this week and plan on having a sleep over and adding another little girl to the mix. I don’t know if I will ever get them to sleep in there rooms again. Plus side to all this, there rooms have been very clean this week.
