Now that the Olympics have wrapped up, Room 2 has kicked off their own Potato Olympics in class and they're having a blast!

To start, students dressed up potatoes as athletes. We discussed the many places Olympic athletes come from and the variety of uniforms they wear.

Once the potato athletes were ready, we held our opening ceremony. Students paraded in front of the school with their potato athletes, leading the way with the Olympic flame.

Our first event was bowling. Students took turns rolling their potato athletes to knock down pins, and we all shared some good laughs.

Next, we moved on to the long jump. Students threw their potato athletes into the sand pit and then measured the distance with a tape measure to see how far they jumped.

Later this week, we'll compete in the 1-meter dash and hill skiing. We’re all excited to see how it goes!
