Thursday, February 4, 2010


Olympic Games Spark Classroom Activities

This month, we're inviting readers to "read faster, higher, and stronger." February is "I love to Read Month," and Montana students can celebrate with a daily literacy activities about the 2010 Winter Olympics.  The goal is to highlight reading to assist teachers in fostering, within their students, an enjoyment of reading all types of media.  

Students' interest in the 2010 Olympic Games is a great opportunity to promote reading for enjoyment as well as reading for information. Ideas include researching Olympic events, reading award-medal winning books, or having award ceremony for favorite books in class.

Teachers, students and parents can download a list of suggested activities, project ideas, and a daily "featured" Olympic event, to help celebrate "I Love to Read Month" and the 2010 Winter Olympics.
