Cool Web Site

Okay, I know no one has school on the mind with summer in the air...but, the olympics are going to start on August 13th and then the winter ones in January...anyway, here's a really cool site if you want to get some ideas on thematic units. I did a thematic unit like this during the last olympics and it went over really well. We did lots of kinestetic type things and they loved it. We also watched some of the events and discussed etc. I like teaching things that relate to what is going on in the real world. Kids seem very receptive to that.

Have an awesome summer!
