The Last Great Race on Earth!
Writer's Workshop
Before we wrap up quarter three, we had a 3 day mini unit about the Iditarod. Each student created a poster about the Iditarod, dangers on the trail, the dog sled, dogs, and the history of the race. We had so much fun learning about this great Alaskan race!
Ask your child... What did you learn about the Iditarod?
Reader's Workshop
In Reader's Workshop this week, we read a Reader's Theatre and read all about the history of the Iditarod.
Ask your child... How did the Iditarod start? What event led to the mushing of dogs to Nome, Alaska? (The dogs were used to transport medicine to Nome, Alaska because of a disease - kind of like the movie Balto!)
