On Thursday, March 24, Tapestry of the Desert hosted it's first ever Olympic Games. It was a part of our End of Unit Celebration for Year 1, Unit 3, which focused on Ancient Greece. The kids were super excited to compete against each other, and super excited that unlike the original Olympic games, the Co-op Olympics did not require their Olympians to compete naked! We had three events--all three were original to the Greek Olympics. Our events were: running races, discus throw and javelin throw. After the games, we had a brief medal ceremony. Then the Upper Grammar class performed two plays that they had worked on in class: "King Midas" and "The Minotaur". We then went up to room 200 to view the tables full of the kids' work for the unit. It was a great time of fellowship and fun. The kids were all great scholars, actors and Olympians!
