Iditarod Insider Assignment 1

Have you ever wondered what Wealthy PTA does? They help make our school the best learning place ever for all of you. This year they have paid for many special events at Wealthy like the "Brain Stormers" that helped you learn how to write stories. Another learning tool they are paying for is the Iditarod Insider. It has hundreds of videos taken during past Iditarod races. Click on the link below. You will need to log in with the username and password I gave you in school. Watch a few videos that interest you. Write about the one you liked best on a piece of paper or in a googl doc. Make sure to write the title and date of the video first. Then write complete sentences telling what happened, who was there, why it happened, when it happened, and where it happened. Share it with me by Friday, February 3. iditarodinsider.com

Ed Stielstra's Drop Bags

Hi Third Graders!
Our musher, Ed Stielstra, is working hard to be prepared for the Iditarod. One big job is done. Last week he packed and sent his "drop bags" to Alaska. Each drop bag has the name of a checkpoint written on the outside. Inside are supplies like dog booties, dog food, food for Ed and more. During the race, Ed will have what he needs because his drop bags will be at the checkpoints. If you could go to Alaska for a dogsled trip, what would you pack? Make a list of at least 10 items you would bring. It can be a google document or a hand written list on a piece of paper Share it with me when you are done. I can't wait to read your ideas! Bye for now!
Mrs. A.
