This week Tiny Treks experienced its own version of the Olympics! The kids had such fun first looking at pictures of different olympic events in the newspaper and talking about what they might have seen on tv. For a craft we created the Olympic symbol using pipe cleaners and cheerios on paper. Next we pretended to be skiiers and birds flying high in the sky like the ski jumpers. Each trekkers got to have their own olympic schedule to complete which included sports such as "balancing on a log" and "jumping off a rock". Everyone was successful in garnering their own Gold Medal at the end of class! We read a story about a quiet elephant who manages to win a medal after not being noticed for a long time. It was very exciting to wear a medal home.
