Opening Ceremonies!


Yesterday Learning Lane kicked off its Olympic studies!  We all met as a community to discuss what we would be doing over the next month on our early release days.  During this time we also did an introduction to the Olympic games.  We watched a slide show of the olympic torches travels, listened to the Olympic song, saw where Sochi, Russia is on a map, and watched some past opening ceremony clips.

Also, during this time Mrs. Flanagin shared with us about her Olympic torch carrying experience.  She answered questions, and also shared about the history of the Olympics.  At the end, we were able to experience our own torch lighting.  Here are some pictures that highlight our opening ceremony at Learning Lane!
