With the Winter Olympic games right around the corner, we wanted to give our students the opportunity to learn about the olympic games. We collaboratively came up with activities designed around the Olympics- such as: Geometry “Short Track” Relay, Medal Design (Art Contest), “Speed Skating” Gym Race,
Number Sense “Curling,” “Cross Country” Reading Challenge, “Snowboard” Spelling,
“Alpine Ski” in 1-2-3, Measurement “Discus Throw,” and the If I were Olympic Athlete...Essay Contest. Included in this 6 page plan is the overall plan our school used for the event. It gives an overview of the opening ceremony, closing ceremony, describes each event and who is eligible for a medal and includes a parent letter promoting the event. We're using a certificate from ABCTeach to give to each participate (that is not included in this packet)
