Iditarod by MS

This is the first EXTRA CREDIT project for our class! Well done MS ~ I am very proud of your hard work. :)Ms. G

Extra Credit: What is the Iditarod?

We've got a room full of curious students who really enjoy using technology and writing about things that interest them so I thought it might be fun to offer a challenge for some extra credit!

The Iditarod is a very famous sporting event that takes place every year at the beginning of March. Here's a video to give you an idea of what the Iditarod is all about...



Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to research this incredible race and then share what you've learned with the class. You can create a Prezi, PowerPoint presentation or video, write a book, give a speech... or whatever you'd like! Most of the work for the project will be done at home but I am happy to help you with any resources you need. You can do the work on your own or team up with a classmate or two. There is no due date for this assignment.

Change of Address

I made a big change over the summer and am now living and teaching in Raleigh, North Carolina. I didn't expect the transition to a new school system to be so difficult and it's taken me some time to adjust. I'm finally gaining my bearings so I thought it was time to bring the blog back and share a little bit of what we've been doing. I considered starting a whole new blog but I have some great resources highlighted here that I didn't want to lose.

If you a new visitor, you may find the search topics in the margin helpful. I'm always looking for feedback so if you'd like to see something that's not here or you have a suggestion, share away!
