That’s right ladies and gentlemen, I am in love with the Olympics, both winter and summer. I love everything about it. The competition. The history. The stories. The excitement. The events. The opening ceremonies. The athletes. The crowds. I love it all. I have been asked before which are my favorite, Winter or Summer Olympics. It is a hard choice for me. I love events from both equally. The Summer Olympic events are familiar, but the Winter Olympic events are dangerous, fast paced and excitingly unknown (to me at least)! It is just too hard to choose. Which is your favorite?
I love the Olympics so much that I am going to be spending the next two weeks teaching my students about the Olympics. We will learn about the different sports, the history, chart medal winnings, watch short clips of events, and culminate with an Olympic day next Friday complete with our very own Kindergarten Olympics. It is going to be crazy fun!
So, if you go looking for me in the next two weeks and you can’t find me, you might try looking in my living room on the couch. You will more than likely find me glued to the TV screen at night watching the athletes in what some would say as their ultimate lifelong goal…striving to achieve an Olympic gold. Yay for Olympics!
