We are in the middle of researching basic facts about the race, learning about Alaska, and researching the dog breeds and mushers involved in the race. As a final project, students are going to create an Iditarod slide show on the web tool Adobe Spark. They are also going to follow a musher(and his or her progress) during the actual race - it begins on March 3rd.

 * 4th Grade:**
 * Fourth graders are working on a "Colorado Vacation Project". With a partner, they are researching a town in Colorado in order to design a 3-night, 4-day trip for an out of town family.
