Welcome to the Olympic Village!!

For the next three weeks we will be stepping away from our curriculum and engage the children in learning about the Olympics.  Miss Peggy’s classroom will be Korea, the host country and Miss Megan’s class will be Germany.  We will learn about our country’s, count medals of the races each day and predict who may win.  While you are home with your child, please talk about what they may see and learn about the Olympics.  Feel free to Google your child’s country and learn together about the Olympics.  We are super excited to to this project with the children and know they will love it too.  They will learn about ice skating, skiing, curling, bob sledding  and many more Olympic events!!   The housekeeping area in each room will be the Olympic Village with simple events held there.  For art we will make the country’s flag and other Olympic crafts.  Math will continue as usual and this week we will be counting to 20 using a variety of ways.  Our letters of the week will be I and J.  The children are really working hard on making their upper case letters.

The mascot for the Olympics is a white tiger.  Here is an animated snippet of the mascot and some games the athletes will be participating in.
