Another Pinterest board with lots of Iditarod resources

I watched a webinar with Bill Ferriter and his students a few weeks ago. They talked about how they've been using Kiva.org for class project for a few years now. It was totally amazing. You can't watch the webinar without paying now, but he linked to all his resources here. I would be up for doing this as 3rd/5th collaboration if anyone's interested!

I saw that you had commented on twitter and watched most of it! Shoot, I didn't know you'd have to pay later. I would love to do a collaboration project. I saw that Kiva.org last year, but could never figure out how to fit it in, or make it work with just 3rd grade. I'll look again at these resources. What are you thinking about for a timeline?

Ok, now I see what on Earth Kiva club is from the friendship bracelet post. Thought I'd just forgotten. ;) I love the concept. If we could "dig deeper" and unwrap the whole thing, I'd love it!

Educator resources for the Iditarod. 

Free resources about sled dogs. They do a free Skype session with the park but only in November and December.

"This resource from Scholastic features six unique math games for students in grades 1-5. They're easy to use in class and don't require much in terms of materials. In addition, each game features a "Tech Twist" for fun, engaging ways to incorporate technology." -- Edutopia

The top link (Trophies 3rd grade allignment to CCSS) has all the Harcourt stories for 3rd grade alligned to the new common core standards

Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman Director) visited the Bat Zone at Cranbrook Institute of Science. He and his family were introduced to the amazing array of animals and educated about the importance of bats and need for conservation action.

I was thinking maybe do a bat unit the week of Halloween, sort of like how we talk about turtles. That week's objective is main idea in informational text.

That's a great idea. I know theres a readworks article about bats, I bet scholastic will have one too. Seems like an easy topic to find resources on.

This has tons of fun science stuff.
