On Monday we did the balance beam.
Today we did the long jump.

The Olympic are in Beijing August 8-24, 2008. while look up some stuff about the Olympic I found this .

What the Olympic ring stand for ....

While the charter isn't explicit, many believe that the colors of the flag-- blue, black, red, yellow, and green on a white field -- are used because at least one of these colors exists in each of the flags of the nations participating in the Olympics. This may be true; however, the notion that each ring represents a specific continent is not. The five interlocking rings represent the five continents brought together by the Olympic Movement.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games adds an additional layer of symbolism to the flag. Traditionally, eight people carry in the flag. Five of these flag bearers represent the continents, while the other three stand for the Olympic ideals of sport, environment, and culture.

When I am teaching the kids I am away teaching myself. This one the thing love about my job . I am always learning something new.
