What an awesome idea to teach the children through actually conducting their own version of the olympics. I think the parents had as much fun as the kids! Here is a description by Chris Carter:
If you weren’t at the White House this morning, you missed something truly special! The White House Winter
Olympics, complete with Parade of Nations, Opening Ceremonies, seven events, medal presentation, and
national anthem was a sight to see. With events such as the Nordic Combined (“luge” down the slide and then
throw a “snowball” in the basket), The Great Zamboni Relay, and Hockey Stick Slalom, it’s hard to know who
had more fun—the children, their teachers, or the parents! Thanks so much to Miss Jessica, who dreamed up
and organized it all, and to all the White House Faculty for providing our children with this wonderful way to
learn about the Olympics.
