The eIditarod Project If you are looking for a fun unit study this winter, check out http://surfaquarium.com/eIDITAROD/. It’s a fun group that follows the Iditarod. Kids choose “mushers”, make homemade maps of Alaska, can do projects, etc. It’s geared for all ages. Classrooms and homeschool families join. The kids can check on line every day to follow the mushers progress.
