Our Inquiry Unit on the Olympics

 For our Inquiry Unit on the Olympics, we have been getting together with two second grade classrooms, Mrs. Francour and Miss Rostermundt. The children have enjoyed making new friends, especially with these older kids. The second graders have been very helpful at working with and guiding the kindergarteners with our projects. We are getting some background knowledge about the olympics.  So far we have colored the olympic rings, made torches, and started painting huge boxes to make the big red bus used as transportation in London. Our focus will be on the host city of "London". We are learning about five of the important landmarks in London, such as Big Ben, a huge clock. Here are some pictures with our olympic buddies!

We had a marvelous time at betty Brinn at the end of March. Here are some pictures of the children exploring in the grocery store, car fix it shop, and climbing structures.
