Olympic Ceremonies

Today we held our very own Olympics & medal ceremony!




We turned on THIS MUSIC & MARCHED, while we followed the LEADER who WAVED the AMERICAN FLAG...
(Opening Ceremonies)

The 1st Olympic Games of the day...
At the end of the day, every child was awarded their very own GOLD MEDAL(that they had finger painted at the beginning of class)
Every child went home an Official Olympian! :)


We focused on HANDWRITING today & discussed the LETTERS in our names.
Every child is at a different level in handwriting & letter recognition, but they all did great today. I HELPED them write the word Olympics on their paper & they also had a chance to try it on their own.

At home Activity:
Help your child practice writing his/her name at home. See if he/she can TRACE it after you write it out. If he/she can trace it, then see if they can write the letters by themselves. Bath time is a great time to learn! Finger paints or crayons can be used on the shower wall & they will easily wash off. Your child will think this is FUN & want to practice their handwriting in the tub all of the time!:)
