The 2012 Iditarod


ATTENTION 5TH GRADE STUDENTS: Get ready to take an incredible journey through Alaska with a musher and his or her dog team. The study of the Alaskan Iditarod was a favorite among many students from last year! I love teaching about the Iditarod and enjoy this unit of study. I can't wait to experience this amazing journey through rugged terrain and bone chilling temperatures with all of you. The official site of the Iditarod can be found here: http://www.iditarod.com/. We are starting the Iditarod in January because when the race begins in March, you will be doing the ISAT. I wanted you to have a little background knowledge of what to expect before the time arrives. We will study it for two days and then return to it after the ISAT.
