We have been preparing to watch the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia by giving Show & Tell presentations about the winter sports and the Canadian athletes competing in them. Today we had the privilege of being able to Skype with 4 Canadian athletes on our 2014 Olympic ski team – Mikaël Kingsbury, Marc-Antoine Gagnon, Audrey Robichaud, and Phil Marquis!!! We got to ask them questions along with Mrs. Taggart’s and Mrs. Sharpe’s classes. A BIG Thank You to Mrs. Taggart for making this possible :)!
Here is a #WeAreWinter video of Mikaël Kingsbury
And here is an excited tweet from Phil Marquis, who just recently made the Olympic team!

What did you learn from talking to the athletes?
If you got to ask them a question, what was it?
