today in gifted class we made a map of the iditarod trail. we drew out the map and wrote all the different checkpoints. then we designed it with trees. we also drew a river that's in the middle of the trail. the tail starts at Anchorage. and it ends at Nome. the paper was white so it looks like snow. the checkpoints are pretty accurate because we have been studying the Iditarod for about four or five weeks now. the Iditarod has been going on for twelve days and today in Alaska it was negative fifteen degrees Fahrenheit . and negative twenty five degrees Celsius. the mushers (sled racers) are either resting at a checkpoint or shooting through the snow. right now the musher in first place right now is, Lance Mackey. hes already out of the second to last checkpoint. who do you think will win the iditarod sled race for 2009?????? well as you can see we are all having fun today in Mrs. Zawis's gifted class. GIFTED ROCKS!!!!
