Olympic Day

On Thursday, we had Olympic Day (since the summer Olympics are coming up!). We talked about the Opening Ceremony and how each country has a chance to walk with their flag to cheer on their team. SO, we had our own version! Each student made their own torch, a flag to represent them, and a cute, leaf crown. I played the music typically played at the ceremony, and we had our own little parade in the classroom!

Of course we had to play a few games too!! After being outside all day for Field Day the day before, we played in indoor games. This was was Long Reach. The kids had to kneel at the edge of the paper and keeping their bottom on their feet, they had to reach as far as they could. They marked it with their initals.

Long Step -- See how long they could step out

High Jump - see how far they could jump

Cotton Ball Shot Put - See how far they could throw their cotton ball

Straw Javelin Throw - See how far they could throw their straw

Everyone was a winner -- as long as they had fun! I gave each one of them a medal!
