Informational Writing / Spring Break

I will make sure to send some photos along of our Thrilla in McMilla race this weekend! 

This week we worked on writing informational biographies of our mushers.  The kids worked hard and did a great job.  They really had an interest in their musher after moving them down the halls over the past couple weeks.  They taught me a ton about the Iditarod mushers this year!  The bibs they made were also very cool!  We will have our final bib signing early next week.  Another dog sled racing tradition. 

Next week we will continue working on informational writing, finish up a few things and get ready to enjoy some time off for spring break.  Have a great weekend!
