I am also thinking of making a red lantern for the student who chose a musher with the longest time to reach Nome.
I love the fact that the race is not over until the last musher comes in. That is such a great lesson for our students!
Our huskies are in!! Each third grade teacher was given a husky stuffed animal for a little racing fun when the Iditarod starts. Each student will choose a musher to follow the day after the musher banquet. When we track our mushers on the trail, whomever is in the lead gets the husky on their desk! The student who chose a musher with the best time at the end gets to keep him! Fun! I am also thinking of making a red lantern for the student who chose a musher with the longest time to reach Nome.

My students are so excited about their mushers. It will be exciting to see who gets to take home the husky!
