Hello and Welcome to Mr. Gulltt's (Mr. G's) On-Going Class about Alaska! In this on-going course we will take a look at different topics about Alaska. Our course will examine the different regions of Alaska, the different environments, plants, seasons (or lack there of), the people, what Alaskan's do during the summer, what Alaskan's do in the winter, the different cultures, the road system, places that you can only fly into or ferry (or both), the rivers, the mountains, dog mushing, fun facts about Alaska, and animals. Each class will cover one of the various subjects from above. All students are encouraged to ask as many questions as they can think of. I am looking forward to you joining me on this awesome Alaskan adventure. Mr. G has 25 plus years of experience in Alaska from growing up near Mt. Denali to teaching all over the state. Also, Mr. G currently lives in Alaska. Some classes and weeks will have a worksheet activity of information about the specific Alaskan topic and/or a worksheet activity to better understand aspect of Alaska.

There is not a single Alaska History or All About Alaska Textbook. The material is a combination of many different sources. Also, one of the best sources for Alaska information is that Mr. G has lived and experienced Alaska for five years as a kid and twenty years as an adult.
