As part of a cross-curricular, cross grade level project, we as a 5th grade class learned three national anthems of countries competing in the 2010 Winter Olympics as well as researched an Olympic sport. We then presented the information to the other participating grade levels.

The background of the project... some really cool, creative teachers came together with an idea to all take part in an Olympic project. First grade, read and completed a writing activity based on __Tacky the Olympic Penguin__, while Second grade incorporated their study of Native Americans to research and learn about the Vancouver mascots. Third and Fourth grades worked on other areas of our curriculum. Third grade kept track of all the competing countries Olympic New Jersey and other countries. We all spent 1 week presenting as we were all the students of 7 creative, teachers.
