In just a month the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics will begin! I am in the midst of putting together a Unit Study from lots of different sources so that we can have a fun-filled January real-life learning adventure.
So whether you home educate or not, go grab a globe or a World map and introduce your children to all the amazing countries of the world! Each family member could pick one country to research...eat some of that country's food, view their flag, pray for their people! You can also print out a paper for each person to keep track of the medal count (math!) and maybe do some estimating before the games begin as to which country will get the most.
Take advantage of real-life learning opportunities like the Olympics to turn-on you and your family to learning, researching, exploring and celebrating all the amazing things of life!

Great idea! I have always LOVED the Olympics. Also, I love your blog. You are doing such a great job of being real about your situation as well as being an inspiration to those who are sort of in the same boat. It's a beautiful life, isn't it? There is such a joy in the little things, as well as the knowledge that the little things will hopefully, by God's grace, make a big impact later on for our kids. Thanks for doing what you do and giving us all a glimpse of your life. The new look of the blog is great, too!
My daughter's teacher had the same idea! I thought it was great. Our family has been researching Brazil and we are looking forward to the Olympics. Her class will even be hosting their own winter Olympics. How fun!
