The Iron Mountain-Kingsford Community Schools North Elementary preschool class is learning about the letter V this week. One of the projects was constructing a volcano by shaping clay around a plastic bottle, then letting it air-dry before painting it. The class put a mixture of orange paint, baking soda and Dawn dish soap in the bottle, then watched as drops of vinegar were added to make it bubble and foam.

Other letter V activities included making paper vases for their mothers and taking a virtual vacation to Disneyworld. Today, they will try an array of different vegetables. (Theresa Proudfit photo)
