I'm super excited about the Beijing Olympics. I have allready reserved a day on the master calendar for the upcoming school year for a sixth grade olympics. This way I can also add more information about China during my unit on Greece!

I picked up a realy cool activity book at Education Station called "Journey to Beijing 2008", by teacher created resources. It shows how it aligns to the state standards as well. It has stories, tangrams, art activities, etc.

My uncle works in the sporting goods industry, so I have a lot of Olympics posters to put on my wall.

Since the equestrian events are in Hong Kong rather than Beijing, it's a good opportunity to show the British influence on Hong Kong. The equestrian events are all of British influence. If anyone has any questions about those events, I should be able to answer them. I was a show jumper for a long time. 😀

I also have a picture up on my wall of me stadning on the Great Wall in fron of the olympics sign.
