  • studied the 1rst Olympic games

Projects we completed:

  • Angelina (5th)~Sports & Entertainment of Ancient Greece Pocket
  • Daniel (3rd)~add to his Ancient Greece poster
  • Angelo(1rst)~made a laurel wreath for the winner of tonight's Olympic games

Tonight is the Olympic games which the kids are looking forward too.Each child has picked a country and will compete against each other for a gold, silver or bronze metal.My sister purchased a Wii system so we are going to rent the Winter Olympic games to compete against one another and will do games all week.This is perfect timing since the 2010 winter Olympics begins soon.We are looking forward to watching it after this study.


I have a Bible study tonight so Daddy is in charge of the Greek games.We will let Angelina compete even though she is a girl :) They will pass the Olympic torch Angel made and say the oath.Finally the winner will receive the laurel leaf crown (Angelo made) to remember Ancient Greeks Olympics & pass out the metals (from the $ store)for the modern games.
