In 2010 when the Olympics were in Vancouver, I was at home with my son when he was just a few months old. It was winter, I wasn't teaching and really had no reason to leave the house. I watched these games continuously. I loved it! I'm excited once again for the Olympics but this time I'm relying on apps and news feeds to keep me updated since I'm back at school, and with two kids at home, there's not a lot of Olympics on the television when I've got to compete with Spider-Man. I've decided to take my French, Geography and English classes on an Olympic journey with me! There will be all kinds of projects and activities the French classes will be participating in. The Geography class did a project on the geography of Sochi and a participating winter Olympic country. And in English, we've been exploring the Canadian Olympic Team's campaign #WeAreWinter. The English class will also be looking at a number of poems, articles and videos that look at the history of the Olympic Games and responding in a variety of ways. I'm looking forward to sharing my passion for the Olympics and cheering on Team Canada with all my classes!
