| Every four years, much
like the International Olympic Committee, our Specialty Teachers organize
a school-wide Olympics Celebration. For our 2004 celebration
we invited dignitaries from our school system to come and speak about sportsmanship.
Since all the specialty teachers work together, all the concepts of the
International Olympic Games are emphasised in every class. |
In art class, students
made participation medals decorated with symbols from the country their
class represented. In music class, students learned olympic-inspired
songs. Guidance sponsored an essay contest about heroes and sportsmanship.
In library, students learned a greeting in the language of their country.
P. E. classes studied how relays work. We learned about cultures
around the world and about the Olympic Games. |
