We had our wonderful Skype with Denali National Park! What a wonderful curriculum they have to introduce students to their dogs and the history of dog sledding in Alaska. I learned so much myself! We had a pre-activity where we learned about dog sled formation, and what it takes to be a lead dog, swing dog, team dog, or wheel dog. I had no idea! The students had wonderful questions and ideas. We had several fun hands-on activities and we really dug deep into the adaptations of a sled dog in Alaska. Check out the link above about Denali with all their resources for the classroom. The Puppy Paws videos are priceless!
