Olympic lapbook.

This has been an ongoing project.  We began this in July before the Olympics started to gain some history before they came on.  We worked on it during the Olympics and now that they are over, we finished it up.

This is the inside of the lapbook and the Bible verse.  We studied China, different events of the Summer Olympics, talked about the Olympic flag, the route of the Olympic torch for this year, designed their own flags, chose a team to watch and graphed the medals won by that team.  We had planned on holding our own family Olympics, but our schedules didn't allow it.  Most of the pictures are from Nicolas's lapbook unless they each did something unique.

Below is our study of China.  Each boy wrote their own name in Chinese.  The left is Nicolas and the right is Alex.

Below, the boys designed their own flag for the Olympics.  The left is Nicolas's, the right is Alex's.

The boys each picked their teams.  Nicolas picked the United States who ended up with 38 golds, 36 silver and 38 bronze medals.  The number of medals was off the charts so he wrote the number at the top of his graph (but you can't see it in the picture.)

Alex picked Great Britain.  The total medals were 19 gold, 13 silver, and 15 bronze.  I wish they each would've chosen a lesser know team, but they had fun looking each morning to see how many medals their team had gotten while they were asleep.
