The 2022 Winter Olympics are coming up on February 4-12, 2022 in Beijing, China.
At our school, we are planning several special events for The Van Meter School Winter Olympics.
To kick off our celebration, we will have our Opening Ceremony where the classes will walk in together carrying the class flags they create. Each elementary "team" will be recognized and celebrated. There will also be a curling teacher competition, which the students will love! The next week, we will come together with our high school students for Our Olympic S.T.E.A.M. Challenge. Within each class, there will be 4-6 small teams. Each team will create a marble luge track. Members from the other teams will have a chance to compete on the tracks with marbles.
During this time, there will also be other activities, learning and celebrating taking place within the library and classrooms.
In the library, they will participate in lots of different reading sports for a Gold Medal in Reading during The Reading Olympics.
You can read more about it and find this choice board collection here in this post.
To support our classroom teachers and our students at school and home, we also created The 2022 Winter Olympics Choice Board Collection.
And guess what?
The choice boards and ALL of the amazing resources included are available for EVERYONE to use with your students, teachers and school community during the Olympics too!
