Our Olympic Unit



Part of their school work this week is centered on the Olympics.  The kids are learning about Russia and some of the history of the Olympics.  We are also going to have our own special events.  Today we made our own medals.  Our first event was one we called Rock Rolling.  They painted some rounded stones that we (Deb and I) found on a hike last week.  The challenge was to roll your rock the farthest down the rocky hillside.  Hunter won the gold, Katie won silver and Ben won bronze.  It was a good opening event to our Olympics Games.  Tomorrow we are planning to head to another state park called Coral Pink Sand Dunes where we will so some sliding down the hilly dunes.  We are also planning to go to a wildlife sanctuary nearby.  We will keep you posted on the results. 

So long for now.

Bob and Deb
