We are going to do an educational, Olympic themed boot camp, in order to improve our scores for our standardized test, the STAAR. First, we will research and understand the country and culture their team is named after, which is where the Chrome books come in. Students will then, work with stories, books, and passages answering questions on their Olympic Team to earn turns/moves in each game. This is why we need Operation, Headbands (inferring), rubik's cube (Higher order thinking), checkers, connect 4, and Jenga. Winning teams will earn points to get medals at the end at our closing ceremony.
