At Home Resources

Students, parents, and teachers:

As specialty teachers we decided that the best way for us to enhance your at home learning experiences was to develop this website with the best activities we could find. Our hope is that these activities will enrich your days and help to round out the other educational materials your classroom teachers are providing.

thank you!

Thanks to all of you who have participated in our Specialty activities. Have a great summer and we will see you in the fall!

Week 8 specialty message

This is the fourth and final week of Specialty Olympics! This week you will design and complete your own backyard obstacle course. You will need sidewalk chalk and a piece of equipment (your choice: basketball, soccer ball, lacrosse net, trampoline, swing set, etc). Once you have designed your course, you can challenge yourself and family members in several ways:

-time yourself / try to beat your record

-compete with a family member to see who can complete course the fastest

-see how many times in a row you can complete your course

Watch the video on the left for Mrs. Jenkins' course using a basketball

I'd love to see videos/pictures of your course!

SHOUT OUT to Emma Kolodziej for being the first person to finish Specialty Olympics!!

Week 7 Specialty Message

Welcome to week three of the Specialty Olympics! This week you will explore the music you would hear at the Olympics. Every country not only has it's own flag and colors, but they have their song, called the national anthem. (An anthem is a song.) When an athlete wins a gold medal, their country's anthem is played at the award ceremony.

This week, you will learn more about our national anthem--The Star Spangled Banner. You will also listen to some of the anthems of the world.

Week 5 Specialty message

The rings of blue, black, yellow, red and green, which make up one of the most recognized symbols in the world, traditionally represent the 5 different areas of the world involved in the Olympics (North and South America are considered one area, along with Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe).

According to the Olympic Charter, “The Olympic symbol expresses the activity of the Olympic Movement and represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games.”
