O Week and the O-lympics

The shape of the week was an octagon. So we did what any preschool teacher would do. We made an octagon octopus! The children had to make sure that their octopus had eight legs, just like an octagon has eight sides!

Is he counting by 2's to check his work. I think so!

Let the O-lympics Begin!
We had many events. Some were traditional, and some were a bit different. We held individual, pair, and team events.

Here the children are sponge painting to design their own Olympic flags.

Here's one of our pair events, the Ball Toss. Look at that great hand-eye-coordination!

Here's another pair event, the Ball Race. Each pair had to hold a ball without using their hands. Giggling was a must for this race!

One of our individual events was a foot race, but you had to hold a feather with your toes.

This race made you think. You had to move your feather across the floor without touching it! Wind power!

Another individual event was the Long Jump. After the children built a number line they measured how far they could jump. We had a seven way tie and had to have a jump off. All of our events were a fun way to exercise, problem solve, and practice how to win and lose!

Closing ceremonies.
Ms. Tania's class had a short parade for Ms. Heidi's class.
