Check out this incredible short video of a “fire hose” of lava pouring out of Kilauea back in early 2017. The color is absolutely amazing!

Volcano Fiction
For a fun read-aloud or simply as an addition to your classroom library, check out The Volcano Goddess Will See You Now by Dan Greenburg. It tells the story of Zack, a young boy who buys a piece of volcanic rock on his trip to Hawaii and finds himself cursed!
Connecting Themes
Our fiction story in this issue, "Lost and Found," is about siblings who have to decide whether they should take a treasure they found at the seashore. It’s a great way to connect to the theme of this nonfiction article, which is about what happens when you remove an item from its natural environment.
Not Our First Volcano
This isn’t the first volcanic tale we’ve told this year in Storyworks Jr.! Venture back to our October/November issue and check out the feature nonfiction story, “Mountain of Fire,” about the eruption of Mount. St. Helens in 1980.
