If you’re looking for a fun idea for school these next couple weeks, try following the Iditarod Race which starts in two days – Saturday, Mar. 7th.

Learn about and follow the race at:

• The official Iditarod Website
• Why learn about the Iditarod?
• All about the Iditarod Trail
• The Iditarod Webquest - a fun project outline with lots of ideas.
• What about the dogs?
• Dog Sled Anatomy

And don’t forget the great E-Iditarod Project that starts every year in January and involves the kids making a map of Alaska, selecting a musher and team to follow, and following the progress of their team on the race by posting to a blog as ‘their’ team reaches each checkpoint.  Here we are making our map of Alaska for the project:

Enjoy!
