Olympics and Valentine's Fun!

To celebrate the Winter Olympics, we put on our own Preschool Olympics!

On Monday, we held an Opening Ceremony. Each class made a flag to carry. The torch was passed from room to room and we gathered together to sing our national anthem. We also did some exercises to get us in shape for our winter sports!

Tuesday was Ice Hockey day. The kids took turns sliding a "hockey puck" (bean bag) down the room with their hockey stick. It was so much fun and they were cheering for each other when they got a "goal!" Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it, but they had a blast.

On Wednesday, we went skating. Whether they were figure skating or speed skating, the kids had a lot of fun sliding across the "ice" on their "skates" (empty Kleenex boxes).










Thursday brought "bobsledding" on scooters. The kids worked together to slide across the floor. Then each one was awarded a gold medal at our Medal Ceremony!











We also celebrated Valentine's Day that week, so here are a few pictures of that as well!
