Today was Capitol Day in Oklahoma! We traveled to Oklahoma City to the Capitol building. More than 2,000 homeschoolers attend this really cool event. It is a day for homeschooling families to meet their representatives, tour the capitol and participate/watch several neat things. Here is a little look into our day.

This whole last week has been volcano week in our house! That is what our science has been about and my kids are loving it 🙂 We went to the library for books and DVDs about volcanoes, built and set off volcano models, played with food volcanoes, and tons of facts about volcanoes have been learned. I must say, volcano week has been a huge hit at the Spaulding house! I even did 16 more models with my art class today.
