Today we learned all about Russia, the home of our 2014 Winter Olympics. Ms. Simone talked to the children about the upcoming games. We looked at the world map and saw where Sochi is located and talked about the countries that will be taking part in the Winter Olympic games. We will have our opening ceremonies for our own Winter Olympic games February 7, 2014. The countries that our classes are representing are Italy, Ireland, Russia, Finland, and the United States of America. Our torch lighting ceremony and parade of nations will take place this Friday. The children are so excited about the start of the Olympics and the start of our game day next Wednesday, February 12, 2014. It's going to be so much fun!
