Yesterday was our official last day of our Iditarod reading challenge. Everyone worked so hard to read us from Maine to Alaska. Our class contributed 214 hours of reading over the challenge! Over the weeks the whole school read 4,817 hours!!! After all the hours were tallied the top reading classes won, and their teacher was then chosen to be the pullers in the Iditarod race. The 1st prize classes pulled Mrs. Cline's sled, and the 2nd prize classes pulled Mrs. Peavey's sled. Everyone from the whole school met outside to cheer on the mushers. In the end Mrs. Cline's team won, but it was definitely a close race. Later in the day students were aloud to get an up close experience with the dog sleds. They were aloud to be mushers, riders, and dogs. It was an exciting and fun way to celebrate all the hard work everyone put into the reading challenge.
