Our class was wild over our two week literacy unit surrounding the Iditarod Sled Dog Race!  We challenged our favorite musher by counting each page we read during the race as a mile on our giant map of Alaska.  We devoured all kinds of fiction and nonfiction mushing books. We discovered more about nonfiction graphic sources, and we ended every day dancing to “I Did, I Did, I Did the Iditarod Trail.”

Hard Iditarod

 

I love calling,

Resting,

Going through the bumpy hard trail.

I am cold from the bitter wind.

I love my working dogs.

The dogs trust and come leaping to me.

I am the trustworthy musher.
