We are learning about the Olympics because the Winter Olympics are happening in February in PyeongChang, South Korea. To start, we watched a video clip that showed parts of past Olympics. Students noticed many things and asked many questions. They are very interested in skiing and figure skating. Here are some links to learn more about the Olympics:
