Creating an Enriched Iditarod Classroom Environment

P3110011Iditarod is an incredible teaching tool that teachers incorporate into all content areas of teaching.

A teacher knows that creating bulletin boards that teach and display areas that spark the imagination and interest of students is essential to setting the stage for learning.  The environment a teacher creates can make or break the lessons taught within the walls of the classroom.

Books, maps, posters, and other items can be put on display to create an interest in the subjects being taught.  As you go about creating the perfect Iditarod classroom environment, remember in order to achieve maximum academic success in your Iditarod enriched atmosphere in your classroom, create your displays based on what research says about teaching and learning and be sure your displays are aligned with the standards that you teach.

*  Remember: Meaningful, purposeful displays will help your students meet the goals and objectives of the curriculum.

IMG_0973Iditarod should not be the ‘clutter’ in your classroom, but the purposeful blueprint for your students to be engaged in learning their curriculum and standards.

Focus on ways to decrease clutter and frame the educational messages for the students.

Great ideas for using a famous dog sled race as a starting point for classroom displays.
