Commemorating the Olympics in Miss Hortin's Class

I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!!

... and I especially love the Winter Olympic Games.

We learned a lot about the Vancouver Winter Games in my class. For homework, my kids brought in newspaper articles about the Olympics. If they didn't have access to newspapers, they could draw a picture of the Olympics and write a sentence to describe what was happening in the picture.
We tallied the gold, silver, and bronze medals earned by the United States.

We also kept a count of the medals earned by a few other countries.

After the Olympics were over, we made a class pictograph about the United States' gold, silver, and bronze medals.

Not too shabby for a teacher with a broken leg, huh? :)
