Students meet a Siberian Husky named Almanzo at a special program about sled dogs on Tuesday at Red Mill Elementary School.
Red Mill 3rd grade students met a Siberian Husky named Almanzo at school on Tuesday as part of a visit from Run by Dogs, a company that trains and cares for sled dogs. The visit supplemented what students had learned in class about the Iditarod through lessons and reading “Stone Fox” by John Reynolds Gardinier.
Students sat in a circle in the band room where they met Almanzo and got to see dog sleds up close.
“Our students learned about the huskies and their training, and had an opportunity to meet and interact with one of the dogs,” said Red Mill 3rd grade teacher Heather Zeccolo. “The students even got the chance to take on the role of the sled dogs themselves!”
Special thanks to Run by Dogs for visiting Red Mill!
