Yes, there’s a moose on the loose here at The Mailbox. He seems to be happy, however I’m sure he’ll find a classroom setting much more enjoyable. I will warn you—he does like to be the center of attention!
To enter for a chance to win this adorable moose, a book that was written about him, a bunch more books (selected for the grade level you teach), and a fresh supply of pencils and sticky notes, simply leave your answer to the following question right here on the blog. Just be sure to do this before midnight on March 15, 2019.

I was taking an environmental class in Alaska in April-June 2011 when I saw my first moose in the wild. I saw a mother and her calf in Denali National Park near the post office. Park rangers stopped traffic in all three directions to let the mother and her calf cross the road. During my stay in the Kenai Peninsula, there was an abandoned baby moose who walked right behind me and was bopping my shoulder.

A frightened moose fleeing from a noisy ATV ran out of the woods and into the traffic-jammed road leading into Yellowstone National Park. The large animal zig-zagged between the barely-moving vehicles, giving all of us potential park visitors a preview of the majestic animals we’d see in the park. My classroom theme is the moose – I have a moose rug, moose lawn chair for the day’s Moose Helper to sit in, and other moose decorations to encourage my second graders to Make Our Organizational Skills Excellent.
That is an awesome idea.

Used a lighter to get some light and 3 moose were licking the campsite area.
Yes – twice. First time was at a lake outside of Estes Park CO. He just stood in the lake & ate while everyone took pictures of him. The second time happened when II was snowmobiling down a mountain in South Dakota and he came out of the forest and ran along side of us for quite a while.
