PARIS 2024 SYMBOLS

Students are learning about the symbols of the olympics.

First Grade Olympic Unit

First graders reasearched the symbols of Paris and The Olympic Games. They created torches and laurel wreaths, along with the City of Paris! Can you find the Seine River flowing through their city? How about a cafe to enjoy some coffee and a baguette?

Second Grade STEAM Challenges and the Paris Olympics

I can collaborate with my team to build background knowledge about the Olympic Games.

I can use the engineering design process to collaboratively solve problems with my team.

What does it mean to be on a team?

The Olympic Unit provided a wonderful opportunity to discuss teamwork, collaboration, success and failure, and perseverance. In addition to learning many facts about the games and the athletes, each student and team created their own Olympic Torch with a working circuit. Ask your child about this process and how they felt with each step.
