The Iditarod

This week we began learning about the Iditarod.  We read a book about a musher and his dogs.

Mrs. Priitchard's cousin brought in her Siberian Husky which is atype of dog that is used in the Iditarod mushing race.  We aalso talked about how the animal's adaptations, like his thick fur, large paws, big muscles on his front legs, and his pointed ears help him be a great dog to pull the sleds in Alaska.
