Kinder Olympians! Our class had a great time following the Winter Olympics in Sochi! There were many great math opportunities, as well as great lessons on sportsmanship! (The class was particularly impressed by Shaun White's enthusiasm and genuine happiness for the gold medal winner, when he missed out on winning a medal himself. It was an amazing example for them to see!) The kids loved surveying each other on their favorite winter sports, and keeping track of the daily medal count for various countries and graphing those results. We also experimented with the Chrip app. I "chirped" winter sports photos to their iPads, which they chose from and imported into Story Kit. Then they wrote about which winter sport they would choose if they were an Olympian! We rounded out our study by creating Olympic torches and gold medals for our Kindergarten gold medal champs!

Thank you for sharing photos of their Olympic experiences. I loved hearing about the different countries discussed which went in and out of the lead with gold medal numbers! Great integration of this current event into the Champs' rich learning experiences!
