A Jump on the Iditarod


ATTENTION STUDENTS: If you would like to receive extra credit in Reading for the second quarter, I have an activity for you to do! In March we will do a unit on the Alaskan Iditarod. The students really enjoyed this unit last year! I want you to begin researching the Iditarod now so we will have some background information when we get started. Research the Alaskan Iditarod and post some information you found interesting or that is new to you. If you find a short video clip about the Iditarod, I can help you post it to the blog. You may also bring in books or materials about the Iditarod for extra credit. This is the only extra credit that will be offered for the second quarter. The due date will be Friday, January 22. Let me know if you have questions!

Kevin's connection to the Herdmans

One event in the book I can connect to is when Claude brought his cat to school. At my old school we had a pet day. I brought my hamster Fuzz Ball. It is like the story because she got lose,and it took us for ever to catch her. My Mom had to take her home early because she kept getting lose.

Molly H.'s Connection to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I can connect to the book "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" because in the book Imogene Herdmans blackmailed people. If she couldn't find anything on you she would make something up. I can prove this because the book said, "If Imogene didn't know a secret about a person, she would make one up. She would catch you in the girls' room or out in the hall and wispier, "I know what you did!'' and then you'd go crazy trying to figure out what it was that you did that Imogene knew about." I can connect to this because last summer I said to my sister,"I know what you did." she didn't do anything at all. She said, "What did I do?" Then she looked all nervous. I said, " Nothing I'm just messing with you." That is how I can connect to this book. Imogene and I both said," I know what you did."
