Olympics
By Kimberly

This is on a much grander scale, but you can take any part of it and use it.

At my school, our ENTIRE school is participating ing "The Games". Each class was assigned one of the more prominate countries to make little
flags.
Yesterday, we had our opening ceremonies. We had the parade of nations and every student marched around our school waving their assigned countires flag. Each class was assigned to wear either red white or blue.
We had a local celeb who carried the torch through our town come and talk. We sang the Star Spangled Banner, we heard a talk on the olympic mascots, the rings and

we all cited the Olympic Oath. Our principal then shouted, "Let the Games Begin" and everyone celebrated with Red While and Blue popcycles.

For our Phy Ed class my Kindergartners' event is speed skating. For this event they are given two pieces of carpet and must 'skate' around our gym. It give them 'quite' a workout!

For the next two weeks on the announcements, the 5th grade will give the medal count. Each grade has their own event, but in the end everyone will get a certificate of completion.

We will then have a closing cermony. At the
at closeing we will all sing God Save the Queen and the Oh Canada as part of our music program.

I hope this offers you some kind of help . . .

Good Luck!
