The Summer Olympics are coming!!!!

Good Morning, friends! Kerri here...

I LOVE the Summer Olympics! Like, I seriously LOVE them. I love the theme song, I love the opening ceremonies, I love Bob Costa announcing and commentating, I love this guy...
Oh Michael, I forgive you for getting all wild and crazy at that party after the last Olympics. You were obviously under alot of stress!


Most of all, I love this sport and these gentlemen...their muscles are HUGE!  I mean, they are AMAZING talented on those rings! 

What I DO NOT love, however, is when I go on the internet and Yahoo ruins it for me by announcing winners before I have actually watched the event. DANGIT!

To celebrate the upcoming Summer Olympics in BRAZIL this summer, I have created my Summer Olympics! Math and Literacy Centers Pack!! Cue Olympics theme song...
This pack is the perfect way to get your little cuties all excited about the upcoming Summer Olympics (remember, most of them were wee babies when the Olympics were on last time!) AND this packet is sure to keep them engaged during the "I could care less about school cause I want it to be summer already" period that we are all going through right now! Am I right??
Here is what you get... 10 centers total!
