We are off! Tomorrow, Sunday, Feb. 23rd, 2014, I fly out with my musher team to Anchorage, and we start our Iditarod adventure!
Friday my students came to school to a new look for our classroom. With the help of my two wonderful homeroom moms and friends, we created a winter iditarod scene for the students. They are my mushers with their own teams to race. Of course we did not leave out Megan in South Africa. She moved a few months ago to be with her family there, and we all miss her, and think of her a lot. Her family is following our blog, so we included her on our musher mountain. The students were so excited, and it helped set the stage for this event for all of us. Enjoy the photos in the slideshow!
The photo above is my front door. Great advice for my substitute Mrs. Douglass!

I made my "mushers" using a free Iditarod looking musher and sled team coloring page. The link is below. I used the wallet sized school photos I happened to have, and they fit perfectly. I put them on popsicle sticks with hot glue and we built our winter scene out of white butcher paper, cotton sheets, polyfil and glitter spray. I cannot say enough good things about spray adhesive from a can. What have I been missing? The beautiful Iditarod poster was custom made for me by Kaylie's mom in my class! Thank you!
