Libby here!
Did you know that teachers can go to summer camp? They can! Iditarod Summer Camp! There is a camp every summer! Tell your teacher about it!
This year, teachers from the lower 48 and Alaska spent June 22 – 28 at camp in Wasilla, Alaska. The teachers slept on the floor, learned how to put booties on dogs, learned about feeding and caring for sled dogs, met lots of interesting mushers and race volunteers, and learned ways to teach using the race for math and reading ideas. The teachers were very busy.
But can you believe it, they slept on the floor! I’ve got pictures to prove it! It just makes me spin in circles and giggle! Teachers sleeping on the floor!
The teachers did lots of things during camp. They visited museums and did some sightseeing after their daily sessions. On Monday, June 30, there was even a special session for teachers at the Fort Richardson Army Base. Teachers learned about the ‘Stay on Track’ program. It is a program to help students make good choices and live healthy lives. Tell your teacher to read more about that at the For Teacher’s News section of the website.
Well, I’m off for a run on the beach today. I think I’ll take a puppy nap after my run. Summer is such fun!
Just spinning some De’Tails’!
