Iditarod

The  ceremonial start of the Iditarod took place in Anchorage on Saturday.  If you are interested in following the race here is the official Iditarod web page.  It is fun to have your child or student choose a musher and follow along.  There are so many great learning opportunities in the area of geography, health (dogs & mushers), literacy, math, social studies, and science.


Here are a few links if you are interested in learning more.
