Everyone hears about the Olympics, but along with others, I too was not aware of many things. The Winter Olympics 2010 are being held in Vancouver, Canada from February 12-28. The sports that occur in the Winter Olympics are: alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, nordie combined, short track speed skating, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboard, and speed skating. Before watching the Olympics, I had no clue what most of these sports were, and that they even existed. My Two favorite sports to watch are ice hockey and snowboarding. I enjoy watching hockey because I am a daddy’s little girl, and have watching many Blackhawks games with my father. I enjoy watching snowboarding because as of this winter it has becoming another of my many hobbies. I went snowboarding for the first time over break and had literally FALLEN in love. GO USA!

I really like adding readings from current events to the classroom experience, like the Four Host Nations website we looked at in class. It helps us see how much writing, reading and researching goes on all around us.
