Olympic History
Olympic History
Gymnastics
is one of the only sports to have appeared at every modern Olympic
games since the first competition in 1896. Men's artistic gymnastics was
the first to appear, followed by the women's artistic events in 1928.
According to the British Olympic Association, the first games involved
athletes from five countries competing on six apparatus, including the
horizontal bar, parallel bars, pommel horse, rings, vault, and rope
climbing. Despite the fact that it was not until the late 1950s that the competition
structure in place today was evident. Rhythmic gymnastics, an elegant
discipline using hand-held apparatus, was first included in the 1984 LA Games, and the most recent Olympic gymnastics discipline is trampolining, which appeared at the Sydney Games in 2000.

You Might be a Gymnast if...

*You sit in the splits no matter where you are.
*You own more leotards than regular clothes.
*You always do handstands in the pool.
*You are on your hands more than your feet.
*The first thing you do in the morning is stretch.
*You hear a good song and instantly start choreographing a routine.
*Aerial is not a mermaid.
*Practice makes perfect isn't just a saying, but a way of life.
*You can stick it without using glue.
*You do pirouettes while waiting in line.
*You promise to never stop gymnastics.... like an energizer bunny that just keeps going.

Oh how that little
black bag has grown. Nowadays, we have medicine for almost every malady known
to man! If you had a cold back in 1800 they didn’t have medicine to make you feel
better. As for now, there are approximately 13,000 prescription
drugs on the market today, and several drugs can often be used to treat the
same condition.

The Ultimate Guide to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The book The Ultimate Guide to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is is very fun! I'm really happy my mom did this with us. I'm twelve and my sister is fifteen, and even though some of the activities are for younger kids, we really liked the projects and games. I enjoyed the crafts and the baking most of all! It is quite informative too! I learned a lot about cocoa beans, and other stuff.
I think that kids of all ages would enjoy this book. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to do a fun, easy unit study with their kids. It makes reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory even better!
Thanks for reading! Have a fun day!
