The Winter Olympics






The Olympics is a great way to integrate subjects. My class amde Olympic books. I always have the kids make the book covers first. The excitement of the art engages them from the start!



Our covers were the Olympic mascot in a Olympic setting. Book pages included: 1. a title page makeing the Olympic rings in the computer lab using microsoft word- shapes 2. an alphabetized listin gof the 15 Olympic sports. 3. A glossary of the Olympic sports with simple definitions, 4. creative wiritng- If iIwere an Olympic athlete, I would want to.... 4. a medal count graphing page.



We also used Crayola Model magic to make Olympic medals. We cut them out uisn gthe lid from my liquid detergent bottle, and painted them each with gold, silver, and bronze metallic tempera paint. They were strung with red, white, and blue ribbon.
