We made torches and talked about the Olympics at preschool this week. We LOVE the Olympics in this neck of the woods too. (I am putting the answers in the comments section so people can try and figure them out before seeing the answers.)

I just love the Olympics. It was so neat in the Opening Ceremonies to hear about the athletes-I find myself cheering especially for those that are the only ones from their countries. What a great symbol of loyalty and honor!
