1st Grade Olympics!

In February we started an Olympic unit where the students were divided into four countries and competed as a team to earn "medals" in teamwork and participation. Our classes countries were Ukraine, Australia, South Korea, and Canada. The kids made their country's flag and kept track of the actual Olympic medal count for their country.  On a few special days we got together with the other first grade classes and their countries to do games and relays. At the end of our unit each country earned a teamwork medal and had lots of fun doing it!
