I had the opportunity to help plan for, organize and implement Spirit Week at our school this year. What a lot of fun! We decided on a Winter Olympics theme, so each day teams competed doing different "Olympic" events. They all had a great time.
We kicked off the week with our Parade of Nations. Each teacher was asked to choose a country and help and encourage their students to dress accordingly. Addison is still in the nursery, so she didn't really dress up. Someone handed her a flag and she was happy to march along.
Raymond's teacher chose Solomon Islands because the colors coordinated with their team color they'd be wearing the rest of the week. Smart lady! She also gave Ray's class some information about the islands and they enjoyed making their flags for the parade. This is Raymond and his friend Jeremy
Zachary's pre-school class chose the good ole US of A. His teacher thought it would be easier for the little guys to cheer for something they found familiar. Also a smart lady! She brought each of them a flag to wave and they had a great time.
Among other events, including the luge (kid on a skateboard), biathlon (running and shooting a Nerf gun at a target), and curling (pushing a very small child on a skateboard toward a target on the floor...closest without going over won!), we had our biggest event of the week. Tobogganing! Kevin brought our go-kart to school and set up a coarse for the kids to race around. Fastest time won. They were allowed to have to pit crew, in case they got stuck in the gravel, etc. Raymond got to drive for his team and having the advantage of driving this particular go-kart frequently, he was the hands down winner and clinched the victory for his team!
