It is almost time for the Iditarod!!  The race begins on March 3rd and this will be our fourth year of following the Iditarod.  We love it.  We now follow about eight to ten mushers, all are color coded and moved along our map as they move along through the race.  Trey has a favorite musher, DeeDee Jonrowe, who he's followed every year.  It is fun to see where our mushers end up every year.  We were sad last year when DeeDee and one of our other favorites ended up crashing their sled in a treacherous spot.  Thankfully, none were seriously hurt. 

To order your own map, or to get information about the mushers and race information, check out www.iditarod.com.  Or, check out www.homeschoolinthewoods.com, she has a really nice unit study on the Iditarod.  Also, www.homeschoolestore.com is giving away a free lapbook this week only. 

Enjoy!!
