Iditarod Dog Sled Race

We have been talking about the Iditarod Dog Sled Race in Alaska as we read the book Black Star, Bright Dawn as our read aloud each afternoon.  The real Iditarod starts the second Saturday of vacation week.  Each student is choosing a musher to follow and we will be tracking them through the race and writing journal entries from their point of view.  About half of the students chose there mushers today.  Here is a list of the mushers already taken.  The rest of the students can look on the Iditarod website (link under Social Studies websites) and write down their top 5 picks.  Remember to not choose any of the mushers listed below.
