Third through fifth grade students were recently participating in their own winter Olympics. Mrs. Ludden, Ms. Pickett, and Mr. Soelzer were able to set up sporting activities, games in the classrooms, and learning that involved studying the countries involved in the winter sporting events. The students tracked the medals won for these countries, and were even able to win their own medals, at the end.
