Mount St. Helens

On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted following an earthquake in the area.  I was 11 years old and I remember sitting in a diner having breakfast with my dad.   We were on some kind of a trip together.  We were reading the newspaper together and talking about the eruption and wondering if our family would feel the effects. My uncle and two aunts and many cousins lived (and still live) in Oregon near the coast on Cannon Beach.  It turns out that even though our relatives were around 150 miles away, they had a layer of ash on their cars the next day following the massive eruption.

Are you old like me and have a story about Mount St. Helens?  If you are... and you do... tell us about it. Leave a comment below, or you can email me at school.  I will relay the stories to students as we continue to talk about ways that our Earth Changes.  Thanks!

Dear Class,

I am wondering how your fall break went. But,first I am going to tell you about mine.I had a wonderful fall break. I had a sleepover with Drew.

MJ's Letter To Class

November 3,2009

Dear Classmates,

Hi. I'm going to tell you about my fall break. When it was snowing, me and my little sister,Grace would play in the snow,and just to tell you we played for 1 hour straight! Then when we would come in we would take off all our snow stuff and watch some t.v. After some t.v. I would kind of tackle my sister,and then read for 30 min. Again, I would either watch a little more t.v. or go and play outside some more. And that's what I did over fall break.

Your friend,

I hope you had a good fall break.I did.I went out of town to Winter Park. the first day we were there we tried to go sledding,but they thought it was to early to put the sleds out,so we just went to play at the park.The second day we were there we went roller skating.I fell a lot but that's what makes it fun.The third day we cleaned up, packed our bags, and went home. Then on Saturday (Halloween) when we went trick or treating it was so much fun. I got seventy-two pieces of candy.

Our Changing Earth

Parents: Third and fourth grade scientists have been learning about our "Changing Earth".  This week, we took much of what we have learned to study the erosion of Niagara Falls.

Third and Fourth Grade Scientists:  This week our question was:  Will Niagara Falls be around in 20 years?  Will they be around in 100 years?  If so, how long will it take for the falls to erode back to Lake Erie?  Please answer this question and explain the process you went through to find out. (Answer the question as a comment by clicking on the "comments" link below.)

Below is a link to some interesting information about Niagara Falls and a video that you can watch at home that has some spectacular views of the falls.

---------------------------------------

Here's some really interesting information about Niagara Falls.
