During the month of March, students were encouraged to try and get 26 RC points in order to finish the IditaREAD in our classroom! The number 26 came from the number of checkpoints that there are in the Iditarod dogsled race that takes place every year in Alaska. In addition to our IditaREAD, we also did other activities that focused on the Iditarod. Students learned about the Balto story (history of the Iditarod), summarized and made posters about an Iditarod book, followed a musher during the race, and made dioramas of a scene from the Iditarod.
Megan was the first student to reach 26 RC points, and therefore, was the winner of the IditaREAD! She finished the "race" in just 3 days!!!
