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!
