The Toughest Race on Earth...

When I was in Middle School my mother was my homeroom teacher {Hi Mom!}.  She was a lot harder on me than the rest of the class regardless of my constant need for attention... but that is beyond the point.  And I guess you are wondering what the point is.  Well it is this:  The 2011 Iditarod.  AKA: The Toughest Race on Earth.  My mom {recently awarded with Teacher of the Year in Tyler County, thank you very much!} had us follow the Iditarod when I was in the 7th grade.  We read Jack London's "Call of the Wild" and we tracked the mushers daily.  We also took a poll/survey to see if anyone could guess what musher would win all the gold.  {My musher came in 3rd!}  We will be following this race and also reading a few books along the way so that we can track the mushers, their dogs, and their stories.  So get ready because the race starts this Friday!  I will be taking a poll to see who everyone thinks will be the winner this year!

Mush!  Mush!!

{UPDATE}


Tori is the winner!!! Her musher, Dallas Seavey, came in 4th!  Can you guess why she picked him?
