PK Olympics!


Last week we got into the Canada spirit with PK Olympic week!  We enjoyed watching clips of the opening ceremonies and different sport events throughout the week.


Olympics in the Gym
























In the gym we enjoyed trying out different Olympic sports.  The students had fun speed skating, curling, bobsledding, playing hockey, and doing the torch run.

Olympic Art


We strengthened our fine motor skills this week by stamping the Olympic rings.  


 The students were also thrilled to each make their own Olympic torch.  We then used our torches for an Olympic parade as well as torch relay races.




We worked as a team to build an Olympic Cauldron for our classroom Olympics as well. 

Playing Olympics


During center time this week we set up a mini luge track, played hockey on a mini rink, and also enjoyed the marble skeleton run.


Olympic Song

The students loved singing this silly little movement song this week.  Here are the words in case you want to sing it at home as well:

The Walking Song
(To the tune of Frere Jacques)
Walking, walking,
walking, walking.
Hop, hop, hop!
Hop, hop, hop!
Running, running, running,
running, running, running.
Now we stop.
Now we stop!

Games FOP




Thank you to all of the families who came out to our games FOP this Friday.  Games are a wonderful way to interact with your child and help them develop.  It was lovely to see our students out having a fun time with their parents and peers!
