Inquiry into 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi Feb. 7- 23

Thank you to Mrs. Magee and the Fifth Graders who will be teaching us about the Olympics on Kids News.  Tune in each morning to hear these informative reports.  An inquiry into the Olympics is  timely and relevant to our student's lives. 

Goal setting is something both Olympic athletes and our students need to do.  You can use this time for students to reflect on their year and set goals to be shared at conferences.

Our Learner Qualities are used to make us strong students discuss how Olympic athletes display our learner qualities: Caring, Respectful, Responsible, Honest, Open-Minded, Risk-Taker, Curious, Team Player, Perseverance.
