It’s time for the
Olympics! How will you stay connected? The
following blog post was created with Olympic Resources for students and
teachers. They are in 3 categories. The first are links to the current
Sochi Winter Olympics, the first 2 sites are geared for younger kids to be
able to read. The second is a history of the Olympics (great
for those studying timelines) and the last are some teacher resources.
Here’s how some Gattis
Teachers are using them: Second Grade teacher Ms. Zahm is using the Time for Kids
link for morning work with her class which has lots of current event snapshots
about the Olympics. Third Grade teacher
Mrs. Tilger is using the Enchanted
Learning which has facts of the current Olympics, history of the Olympics and
loads of Olympic facts. It even has a list of where EVERY Olympic has been held
since 1896. Mrs. Dawson’s 3rd grade
class explored a few of the sites listed, they especially liked Time
for Kids for the articles and some of the printables available. Which site do you like best? Do you have a new one to share?
