Description
This page has many of the links to projects that I use to make learning
exciting. They are used to focus on all the skills in reading, math, social
studies, science and writing and do it in an interesting
way. Included here are links to the Iditarod, the National Parks, Lewis and
Clark and much more.
Here's the first set of links: The Last Great Race On Earth! That's what
they call the Iditarod. Starting in March and covering over 1000 miles
through the Alaskan backcountry, this is a truly great spectacle. Check the
web pages below for information on this and a lot of other
topics.
