{Oh, Alaska!}

Our back-from-winter break Arctic Unit focused on the state of Alaska. We flipped the classroom for this Unit, and had the Twosies become the teachers! They chose from a set of topics, conducted research, and created a paper or digital poster to present their information. 

The topics included:
Alaska's History
Alaska's People
Alaska's Climate
Alaska's Attractions
Alaska's Animals
The Iditarod
The Northern Lights

This is always one of my favorite units and a great way to study the Northern Hemisphere! There are so many great fictional books about Alaska as well. We were also able to learn about Alaska's Inuit Folktales through our literature choices.

You can see the Digital Posters here:
